Sadly that is very true, he is also integral to our attack, just look at our record since 2005 when he has been almost constantly injured.

Like Ern i disagree, Tremlett lacks the raw pace. When fully fit Harmison can still get 92mph+ and sustain it Tremletts flat out at 88-90.

The conditions were so hot and draining it would have been suicide to charge in and try to bowl flat out all the time. He was also bowled in long spells because Hoggard wasnt fit and Harmy was the best bowler.
Harmison has bowled well this series and has shown that he is still a better bowler than Broad or Tremlett. In this innings had we been able to catch he would have ended up with a good 5 wicket haul.
