Paul Harris has made a career out of it.

I've heard that a few times about him and must say, reckon it's a bit unfair. His wickets in the Test series, I thought, were the result of smart bowling. No doubt he's taking advantage of what you say about the other bowlers but I thought he hit pretty decent areas too. He made Clarke struggle in defence more against him than he did against Murali last summer and got just enough turn to be annoying (more than the Aussie bowlers, that's for sure). Decent effort, that.He benefits from who he plays with. Ntini, Steyn and Morkel are three of the nastiest bowlers to face around and Kallis can be really tough to score off. When Harris comes on they either relax or think they have the right to hit every ball he bowls for six.
Oh, for sure, i said at the time he was massively improved on his performance in England. He bowled well, but i'm still pretty sure if you looked at how he actually got his wickets, a lot of them were due to ridiculously over-aggressive shots. I think Oz had an ill-advised gameplan to get after him in the first test.I've heard that a few times about him and must say, reckon it's a bit unfair.
