With Steve Harmisson going public about his lack of interest in being in South Africa and his figures in the last match backing his words, England face a serious selection problem before the fifth ODI. Matthew Hoggard is understandably exhausted after a gruelling Test series and his performances also proved that in the last game he played.
So England might need to go back to the enigmatic, mercurial, talented but out-of-form James Anderson and hope he finds form in comditions similar to where he bowled so devastatingly in the World Cup almost 2 years ago. Although I suppose Alex Wharf is also an option - why didn't he start in any of the matches so far ??
I always thought it was not a smart move to send Simon Jones home - his type of bowling could have been useful here particularly given that Harmisson was never likely to be a big threat this series.
