Saj feels ignored
Bolton's England pace bowler Sajid Mahmood has questioned his selection for the third Ashes Test after he was frequently "ignored" for bowling duties in Perth.
The 24-year-old received his first Ashes call-up for what proved to be a series-clinching third straight victory for the Australians, but he was asked to bowl just 17 overs in the match, including only 10 as the home side cut loose to score 527 for five in the second innings.
Mahmood admitted in The Guardian: "I felt a little bit ignored at times, especially after my first two overs in the second innings when I didn't get another go until about the 70th over."

Harmison quits One-day cricket
SYDNEY (Reuters) - England fast bowler Steve Harmison has announced his retirement from one-day cricket just three months ahead of the World Cup.
"After careful consideration and having taken advice from several people who have been close to me throughout my career, I have decided to retire from one-day international cricket with immediate effect," he said in a statement released by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
England's main strike bowler made a comical start to the Ashes when he bowled the first ball of the series off the pitch and straight at Andrew Flintoff at second slip.
