Or it says something about a team plan to avoid being put into a position where the batting team run away with the game, and guess what, it seemed to be pretty effective when he used it at Lords.Craig said:

It is very effective, as long as you've got the right field.Craig said:
I agree and I think it could be used more often in certain situations.Tom Halsey said:
well its not going to make much of a difference because hes going to be moved up and down that order based on the situation.....marc71178 said:
bowling over the wicket lets you pitch the ball into the rough and get more turn.....its not as negative as you may think if you bowl it in the right areas.Craig said:
How's about the guy is carrying the attack in test matches anyway, he's under tremendous pressure (witness all the people just praying for him to fail so they can scream "I told you so") and it's about time someone else pulled their finger out.Arjun said:
He was in tremendous form going into the ODI series in the West Indies...Arjun said:
Yep the guy means too much to us in tests to risk burning him out in one dayers, even if they are trying to make him more accurate by playing them. We have plenty One day bowlers like Anderson / Mahmood to bother trying to get Harmison or Jones into the one day side when they'll probably never be able to keep their Econ. down.Mr Mxyzptlk said:
The latter of whom has never bowled a ball for England....SpaceMonkey said:
Yeah but he has a hell of a lot better one day average (under 20 this season i think) than Harmison and Jones who hardly even play one day games for their counties cos they arent accurate enough. Why risk Harmison when you can have Mahmood is my point not that im saying Mahmood will do well but id rather we played him than Hamison in the one dayers.Langeveldt said:
Actually, I think the Harmosceptics have been well and truly silenced, since he's done it for eight-and-a-half matches in a row now. Let's put it this way: if he has a terrible game in the first Test against WI, how many people do you think will risk saying "I told you so" with another Test starting very soon afterwards?luckyeddie said:

Just a little update on where he stands with regard to the sacrilegious comparisons with great bowlers' early careers: he's still way ahead of McGrath, and slightly ahead of Lillee, sandwiched between Holding below him and Thommo above. Tyson has dropped out of the picture, as he only played 17 Tests, so there's only Both and FST ahead of him in the English stakes now. Roberts, Garner, Croft and Hall are ahead, while Hadlee, Wasim, Ambrose and Marshall still trail in terms of stats after 19 Tests.Langeveldt said:
Just look in the book, Craig. There is no one 'correct' way of getting a wicket - you really have no argument at all.Craig said:
