The bowlers may not have conceded runs at a great rate during this match but India made a massive score on a very bowler friendly pitch and to me that says everything!! I doubt India would have passed 250 if we had an attack (if fit) of Harmison, Hoggard, Flintoff, Monty and possibly AN other.

Harmison does have pride, thats why he wants to play in the next Ashes series - he wants to make up for the rubbish he bowled in the last Ashes series. I also know who the Aussies would prefer to bat against and it isnt Harmison!! In 2005 the Aussies were worried about Harmison, as were they in 2006/7 and hopefully they will be in 2009
