England truce as Broad faces axe

England's cricketing hierachy has agreed to take collective responsibility for furore over the selection of Darren Pattinson in the second Test aginast SOuth Africa. After a series of meetings between top brass including chairman of the selectors Geoff Miller, coach Peter Morres and Michael Vaughan it was decided that there should be no witchhunt. Attention now turns to the third Test, although another selection controversy looms. "While Team England may have thrashed their way through last week's mistakes, they still have a hugely challenging decision to make ahead of the third Npower Test at Edgbaston. They are likely to rest Stuart Broad, whose startlingly accomplished batting at Headingley was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise grisly performance," reports Simon Briggs in the Telegraph.
