But the great thing is that if needed Harmison can crank the pace up a bit. In that heat and humidity he's never going to be able to sustain top pace for long...... Although the speed gun may say 80 he will still hit the bat a lot harder that Hoggy/Siders bowling at 80

As for his bounce, it was always known that is effective (on any wicket) unfortunatley everyone apart from Moores realises that. I still dont know why Moores is so obessed with (medium pace) swing - in this match the ball has moved around loads and caused no problems to the batsman. In fact since the India series how effective have our swing bowlers been??
