No Harmers done

With all the talk in the Ashes surrounding reverse swing and more recently the possibility of Trent Bridge being a 'Hoggard' pitch, very little is being said or written about Steve Harmison. A man who over the last couple of years has developed a reputation of being one of the most hostile quicks around has quietly slunk into the shadows. Not that he minds - Harmers is known to shun the limelight and go about his work quietly. With the groundsman promising a traditional fast bowler's wicket which won't get rough enough to take much spin, and on the flip side for England, probably won't scuff the ball up quickly enough to support reverse swing, Harmers might be the man hitting the headlines rather than Hoggard. That's my prediction for the fourth test: Harmison the bowling hero.
