Yeah, possibly. I just haven't seen enough goodness (including his Test tons) to warrant any other opinion.

And by shit, I mean reasonably shit.

More than likely he'll pump us for a ton but it wasn't just the dismissal deliveries, he looked uncomfortable against all the short pitched bowling UNTIL it was given some width.

Can he hook?

I saw him play a few hook shots in a century he made against South Australia last year.

I don't know how much importance you attach to that though considering the South Australian attack was pretty weak.

That's like saying that Hitler had a few issues with Jews.

Can't afford 2 looseners before he gets it right in a test match.

In short, he isn't the next Bradman.

Ok, that's it. This is definitely a dastardly plan to get Harmison at Cardiff...

by PeterCS on Fri 03 Jul 2009, 01:57

1 top wicket for 8 ain't bad.

(Just to make it clear ... I am not advocating Steven's return.)

He's not even in the shortlist squad, is he?

Fixed.

As I was saying...

Ton up for RaviBo at Edgbaston and then he retires 'out'

FFS I hate it when players have to do that in a first class game, if you're going to give it away at least have an attempt to hit every ball for six instead of walking off.

I fear a cunning plan to get us to pick Harmy, how can you average 65+ in FC cricket and look that sh!t against the short ball coming into you?

When you play 50% of your games on the SCG...

There aren't exatly a lot of 90mph 6"4' bowlers in world cricket. If Hamry doesn't play does England have anyone to exploit this apparent weakness?
