"The fact is that once I was playing again I was automatically available for everything on the schedule and that meant Stanford. I make no apologies for that and, as for the suggestion that I should waive the fee or give it to charity, I don't see why I should be a special case."
Steve Harmison feels strongly about suggestions that he came out of one-day retirement in order to play the Stanford Twenty20 for 20

Stop talking and start making runs

By Will 3 years ago, mid-May Leave a comment on this post

Strauss was on Sky News today, trying to calm our and his nerves about his total lack of form. Out for 20ish today, and Pietersen made an uncerimonious 1. So - stop talking, and knuckle down and make runs. Pietersen is in danger of not being picked for The Ashes unless he scores some big hundreds beforehand.

On a brighter note, Steve Harmison has today taken his 20th wicket at an average of about 16 each this season. Encouraging news for him, at least, amidst all the batting failures of England players.
