FFS, Smith misses an inswinger. First time he's done that for a while.

 

[Stapel]

A prediction:

This time Cook will cling on, so Smith will be dismissed on Harmison's first ball .

Well, how could I know Anderson would get the new ball and get rid off Smith that soon......

Jimeeeeh

First time they've bowled a decent one at him tbh. Not particularly sure why the likes of Flintoff and Anderson have tried so desperately to bowl away swingers at Smith, despite his patently obvious heavy footedness.

 

[Richard]

Harmison actually getting some outswing here.

 

[Goughy]

Jeez that flew

JImmehhhhhhhhhhh.

Back to the Harmison we know and love.

If you clean up his bowling analysis by removing his 6 best overs, his match figures are 15-0-62-0 which I'm afraid is simply not Test-class bowling.

I thought the first chance average an oddity but that one is quite bizarre

I hope Im reading it in the right spirit

 

[Langeveldt]

Haha, Smith's dismissal was an embarassing one.. Was sat eating supper in front of the TV going "F***, S***, C***!!" unawares that the quite religious grandparents had just arrived behind me..

You'll need to ask Richard to explain both concepts (FCA and the purified Harmison bowling analysis)

And the reverse Harmisonesque quadrangular nematode theorem...

Does it just apply to Harmy or bowlers generally?

Crikey, I wouldn't like to guess. It certainly does apply to Harmison though, from the little I can understand

Is there a similar procedure for devaluing his batting?

Purified - the perfect word for the occasion

This one is simple. You multiply the number of wickets he has taken by four and add them to his runs tally.
