It's...Cheers, John, no disagreement from me there. It's been sad to see the way Harmison's career has gone but I think he's always been a bit mentally and athletically frail to be a consistent success at the very top level. He needs a hell of a lot of bowling to find his rhythm and he usually gives the impression of not really wanting to be there enough.<BR/><BR/>I'm very keen on Broad, although I think it's a bit early for him really. I'll be surprised if he isn't a very serious contender in the long run and he should be able to bat well enough to be at least a decent number eight, something we certainly don't have now.Brian Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336241250446877498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30531601.post-41881804350390551012008-03-12T17:58:00.000+00:002008-03-12T17:58:00.000+00:00Hi Brian, Harmison has been lucky to survive this ...Hi Brian, Harmison has been lucky to survive this long. Bowling 80mph?! I agree Hoggard (under rated grossly by many) will be back. I think there's a dearth of quality coming through without FLintoff and Jones of yesteryear. Can't get excited about Anderson or Broad but time will tell. A recall for Caddick perhaps!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
