England v West Indies - 3rd Test

[TSB]

1252 - Ganga lbw b Harmison 5, WI 17-1 Harmison steams in, all arms and legs, like an Indian deity running for a bus...and his first ball...is a ruddy wide...short and high over Ganga's shoulder...and his second is a load of old rubbish and ends up slapping into the fine-leg fence. Hmmm...A couple outside off-stump...before another runs away for four down leg-side. Another leg-side wide and this is very ugly to watch...AND HE'S TRAPPED GANGA LBW!!! That's Russian roulette for you, Daren, you're bound to get your brains blown out at some stage. Chanderpaul gets an absolute jaffa second-up, the ball spitting off a length and just missing the top of off. That was one of the strangest overs I've ever seen.

 

[Parson Henry]

5.4 Harmison to Smith, no run, on off this time, Harmison changing his line as often as Vaughan and the Fredalo incident

 

[Parson Henry]

47-2

Plunkett strikes in his first over.

 

[Uncle Buck]

49-2.

Plunkett has got Gayle.

 

[Parson Henry]

Sidebottom becoming expensive....one test wonder?

 

[Gwylan]

11 byes so far for Matty Prior....not so hot for him.

 

[Skint Gull]

What's with 11 Byes, that's a figure that normally looks bad on keeper. I assume its Harmy spraying it down leg side rather than Prior missing a load?

he has been criticised on cricinfo. I will reserve judgement until I see the highlights.

BBC text blames at least 7 of those 11 on Harmison

 

[Parson Henry]

It seems Plunket and Harmiuson are woeful at the minute. Two accurate balls an over.

 

[Parson Henry]

Harnison strikes and Morton has gone 116-3.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Harmison now on 197 test wickets - could he have 200 by the end of the day?

TMS called it 'two wicket-keeper bowling'.

Aggers and Gus Fraser are praising Prior for keeping the score down, while feeling sorry for all the bruises he is collecting.

Harmison was bowling shockingly in the couple of overs before and after lunch that I saw. Ok he got an LBW, but that was more down to the batsman not knowing which side he was going to go wide this time!!!
Prior's been having a job saving those runs.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Even Cricinfo have been saying that Prior hasn't really had much of a chance with many of them. Harmison bowling wide of leg stump doesn't help.

 

[Simster]

Harmison is shit. Time for him to get back into country cricket IMO.
