Harmy’s dart career

By Jonathan Calder last year, mid-October Add your comment below

The greatest talking point when the England touring party was named was the omission of Steve Harmison.

While he has not always been the cheeriest tourist, I shall miss watching him play darts. I remember an evening on Australia when, with consecutive throws, he hit the light shade, bent the wire on the treble 19 and winged the wife of the chairman of selectors.

Ryan Sidebottom is another keen darter. He once explained his theory to me that, as a left-handed thrower, he should aim at the treble 5, and allow the dart to drift into the treble 20 at the last minute.

He offered to demonstrate it for me. And scored 45 with three darts.

    And there was me thinking that Harmy was a good darts player. All the reports I hear about Harmison touring seem to include a mention of his dartboard with a room with a joining door to Flintoffs so they can play darts together.
