Harmison has been bowling 80mph in these two Tests until he gets a wicket when he cranks it up to 85-88 for a couple of overs. It's not his pace that been effective but his bounce and Hoggard and Sidebottom have managed to get a few balls to hit the top of the bat or the batsmen's fingers. At Kandy there was no bounce at all but they still shouldn't have played 3 swing bowlers with the ball only swinging for the first 15 overs.
