  • I think those speed guns are a load of crap. Somehow the white ball goes faster - I bowled 83-84mph in the Test match, and 93mph in the one-dayers. It's crazy. I hadn't bowled a ball for ten days.

    Harmison’s 7-12

    By Will 4 years ago, mid-November Leave a comment on this post

    I sat down in front of the fire this afternoon (chilly here - just above freezing) and put on a DVD I bought highlighting England’s tour of the West Indies this year. What a great buy! I’m a huge fan of Steve Harmison - he has a similar awe-inspiring effect on me as Curtly Ambrose did 10 years ago, when I first started watching cricket.

    It was brilliant watching Harmison’s performance in the First Test in Kingston - 7 for 12! 7 wickets for 12 runs. 12 runs conceded for 7 wickets. No matter how you put it, it’s an amazing statistic - this is against the West Indies in the West Indies; the same place where England were bowled out for 46, ironically 10 years almost to the day! This time round, it was their turn - and they made just one run more
