@haydesj No it's a slower yorker when the batsman is expecting the ball to come down at 85/6 mph and it comes in around 70 something you are going to struggle to pick it up and for a bowler to outsmart the bastman in such a way makes this a very good ball! If I remember correctly it was also an Ashes winning ball! So yes it is one of the greats because of what it meant to the England team and Englishmen alike!
@Shappers87 seriously mate i can bowl them it isnt that hard and who cares if they won the ashes from it. the ashes means nothing now it's just an old trophy that should be made into ashes already.
@haydesj Lets set a time and place and you can prove how good you are at bowling...should be fun! Do you even know what the Ashes are??? they are ashes you fool! a set of bails to be precise that's why they're called the Ashes! Also you ask any Englishman, Australian or Cricket fan and they'll say that they'd wish they could take part in the Ashes! It's the only 5 Test match Series around too meaning you can lose two tests and still win the series! That makes it a brilliant contest!
@Shappers87 Yes a set of bails. I know it is important but there are better cricket teams in the world than england and australia. let them have a go at it because the contest btween australia and england is absolutely fucked now. They are both shit,
@haydesj he's getting on a bit so it's no surprise he's not in the top rankings any more and will be struggling with injury! Everyone has their prime! Do you even know his name? I mean you listened to the clip as well as watching I presume so you should be able to tell me!
@Shappers87 and yeah mate it's steve harmison the one ball wonder for england who never bowled another decent one in his life. Only thing he is recognised for is the fact that he can manage to bowl one to 2nd slip and still have played another game in the english team.
@collinslfc Hey mate I never even said I was Aussie. And that was a hell of a long time ago. The West Indies are nothing now. Their team is nowhere near as good as it used to be.
You didn't have to, your profile says you are, unless you are ashamed to admit you are an Aussie now. Must be embarrassing to lose 3 out of the last 4 ashes series huh?
@collinslfc No I'm not ashamed and it's not embarrassing. As I said, the ashes are pointless now. England and Australia are shit at cricket. The only thing that keeps it between the 2 is the fact that they WERE the 2 most dominant countries. Now let's face it, the only reason it's still between them is because arrogant pricks won't let other countries fight it out and actually have a good series. BTW I dont know what you are bragging about coz half of ur team are actually South Africans.
Funny how the ashes don't matter when you start losing. Of course they matter you complete fool.
And don't bore me with all this South African crap, they qualify to play for England under ICC rules, so don't even go there because it's a waste of your time and a waste of my time.
I'm glad you admit that Australia are shit, because England haven't lost a test series since 2008. Happy days for an England fan.
@collinslfc Mate the ashes have never really mattered to me. And England haven't lost because they play 1 test series a year against, as I've pointed out many times, a shit team.
what? Okay firstly, just because the ashes doesn't matter to you doesn't make it not important, it just means you're not a loyal supporter.
Secondly, England play 1 test series a year? Are you being serious? England play more test matches than any other team, and shit teams? Well yeah, we have played Australia in 2 series since 2008.
@haydesj "the only reason it's still between them is because arrogant pricks won't let other countries fight it out and actually have a good series" are you implying the ashes should include other countries. That defeats the whole purpose....
not as good as that 1st ball of the ashes that ended up and 3rd slip at least no one can say it's not swingingit swung that much it was like a boomerang on it;s way back to him
@OriginalDaVe How many outs do you get in a game? Do they switch from outfield to batting after every 3 like baseball? I really don't know anything about this sport, but I would like to know.
@TheSlevinCalevra unlike baseball, to finish an innings you have to get every single person in the lineup out except the very last (so 10 outs, 11 in a side). In the longer form of the game, called 'Test cricket', there are 2 innings per side due to the number of outs required but it works similarly to baseball, yes.
@TheSlevinCalevra There's a great wikipedia article on the differences/similarities between baseball/cricket. Two great sports! Seach for Comparison_of_cricket_and_baseball on Wikipedia :)
I think the ball was great, not because it was a great ball, it just cam at the right moment. I'm not sure Mark meant it to come out the way he intended. It was just a nice piece of bowling when England needed it. Clever piece of bowling rather than a great piece.
Harmison has to be the disappointment of the decade for England. Big hands, tall, long arms, great for fast bowling. Born with this but let England down many times. Anyhow, good job in 2005 Steve.
@NickCaddick america plays sports that no one else plays so then they can call themselves "world champions" and get there massive ego's a good massage.
cricket is the most pure and traditional of all sports, something that americans would have no idea about.
@tommyboy9101 it is obvious - American English too is "copied" from British English - but what's wrong if they want to have their own versions of everything - they don't get to win the world Cup like we just did :)
Shane Warne took drugs. He was banned. Delete his records. His a racist. He got away with chucking because he is an Aussie and a racist! SHANE WARNE IS A DRUGGIE. DELETE HIS records!.
@australia1nbr1 Ok I'll jump right on that, after Murili has his records deleted for chucking, same as Malinga. They weren't performance enhancing drugs, he never chucked, so what if he's racist? Shoudl have no effect on the game, Aussies hung shit on Symonds for getting cut that those blokes called him a monkey, who gives a fuck get over it. Shane Warne wasn't banned either.
In the context of this particular game, that was 1 of the great balls ever my friend! Michael Clarke had been going steady and this was the LAST BALL OF DAY 4! It left Warne, Lee and Kasprowicz to bat on the final day at Edgebaston. Eng won that game and went on to win the Ashes..and that ball will always be rememberd as 1 of the most important in that series.
I am not an Eng fan btw, I hate them, but I appreciate good cricket!
*sigh* Back when Harmison was amazing... something went wrong and he lost his confidence and he's never quite got back to the form he was in in 2003-2005
you and me both, he is still performing amazingly at county level, if you get a chance watch Durham next season, the selectors need to show faith in Harmy before he can destroy the oppositions batting order ala sabina park '04 (well we'll struglle to see such an amazing spell of bowling in our lifetimes but that's not quite the point I was making)
@AerospaceEngineer90 - I think this happened in Ashes 2006 right mate? Cuz i think that he was the one who completely demolished the batting line-up for aussies in that whole tour which was a big pain in the ass for em
the wicket that won the ashes for england, if clarke was there on the final day we would have won the test and the series. Pschologically i knew we were in trouble for the rest of the series.
@kamyueloh hahaha what a gimp! where are you going with this? you seem to not have a clue what you are on about! Do you even play cricket?! To any decent standard or are you just some middle aged man who struggles to see the ball to hit when batting let alone run 22 yards to complete a single! sad thing is i bet it took you a long time to think of that original nickname there! wow lmao, jokes on you as far as im concerned
@bellers check the record bowling at Sabina Park - still amazed? ridiculous comment, even if in jest... I do admit that the wide was pretty special but.
@kamyueloh im not just talking about the wide, he was a class act for a couple of years when he had pace, but he seemed to go down hill pretty quickly. Lost any pace that he had, and thats what made him a handful, pace and bounce.
Ahhh, Harmison. Better than any Aussie bowler at the moment with the possible exception of Lee. I have no idea why he's not been picked for the tests.
He has been the worst bowler for Aus this series by a long way. Flintoff not as good as Johnson? You have to be mad, Flintoff is superior to Johnson at the moment by a long way! I know which bowler I would rather face.
Also, Harminson in his prime was superior to all of the bowlers you have named. You can't just be "ok" to reach the number 1 ranked bowler in the world. Something Lee has never done.
Flintoff was always used as Englands work horse, which limited his wicket taking abilities. Flintoff has been riddled with more injuries than Lee.
Also, remind me what happened in the test series which Australia played against India at home in 08. That was the most "anti spirit of cricket" I have ever seen played by Australia, it was disgraceful. The umpiring has been disgraceful this series, not England's fault.
Harminson played brilliantly in all 04 and 05. Which is more than one series.
Some bad umpiring (Which India blamed Australia for), Some racial comments made by some Indian player to Aussie player, and plenty of send offs given by India (Namely Sreesanth).
Australia done very well considering India's conduct.
When Australia got bad decisions, they always took it, and moved on. This series, the decisions have been attrocious. But NEVER had Australia blamed England for it, and NEVER did Australia threaten to boycot a test (Both of which India had done).
As far as I'm concerned; Australia's conduct in this series so far as been spot on. The umpiring hasn't been very good at all.
mate, its not as black and white as that. for instance india were aggravated by factors such as the supposed racist comments made by harbhajan to symonds in which they took pontings word for it,and slapped him with a ban, over tendulkar who said that nothing was said.
What England has done this series (deliberate time-wasting in the 1st test), and 2005 Series (Resting their strike bowlers by swapping them with the 12th man so they will be fresh intime for their next spell).
They worked out how much less time Harmi spent on the field then he should have, and most the reason why he bowled well was because he never had to bowl tired.
Australians over rate was under par today as well. Both are as bad as each other. England were just doing what they did with the Bodyline series of 32-33, pushing the rules to the limits, as there were no rules against this. I agree it is bad for cricket but every team does it ast no-one wants to give a inch in cricket. Harbhajan was terrible when he got bowled and refused to move! The most "spirited" cricketer I have seen in recent times was Gilchrist, I really did admire that guy.
But in saying that Ricky Ponting is also a very fair cricketer. Ofcourse, India's media will have you think he is as crooked as themselfs.
But when he turned down a catch, he was villified by the Indian media, saying too little too late. Well thats more than anyone I know of from international cricket has done in their career.
He has had good points, yes. Yet there are moments where he acted terrible. He has claimed a fair few catches where the ball has hit the ground or just over appealing.
Yes about the Indian media. There was this one video where Clarke made a diving stop and accidental knocked Sachin over and Gavaskar made out that he had done to stop him from getting runs.
Who hasn't claimed catches that didn't carry? Honestly - I can think of 2 (Yes 2) Indian cricketers who appealed after catching a half-voley - one of which didn't even come off the bat.
The Indian media is corrupt; and will have you beleive the Australians are the only one to have ever appealed for a bump-ball. When in actual fact India has done it more often than anyone, not to mention the Ball tampering incidence from pakies and Indies.
you are right for sure, pakies are the cheats of the game if you want to point fingers. i think the aussies play cricket very well and with good conduct and thats from an english man. bring on ashes 2010
Great end to a good day for England. But Australia put a great fight the next day. A nail-biter that would be remembered forever in the context of Ashes
what are you on about? His 85 in the 4th test in that partnership with freddie, and the catch at edgebaston on day 4, pretty much won England those two test matches and hence the ashes.
Always remember the situation!! It was late on day 4 with Ponting and Clarke making a decent charge to win the test. If they win the Ashes goes with them. Harmi pulls a wicket out of no-where and the rest is history.
that is one fkd up action

@bellers check the record bowling at Sabina Park - still amazed? ridiculous comment, even if in jest... I do admit that the wide was pretty special but.
kamyueloh 1 year ago
@kamyueloh im not just talking about the wide, he was a class act for a couple of years when he had pace, but he seemed to go down hill pretty quickly. Lost any pace that he had, and thats what made him a handful, pace and bounce.

Ahhh, Harmison. Better than any Aussie bowler at the moment with the possible exception of Lee. I have no idea why he's not been picked for the tests.

mattyo30 2 years ago
Harmison ?!?
ROflmao!
He only bowls one decent delivery a game if that!
He is one of the worst bowlers I've ever seen play international cricket!
Admittedly he done OK in 2005. But that was mainly down to Flintoff putting the pressure on all the time.
Flintoff is heaps better than Hamri - and he is not nearly as good as Lee, Clark, or Johnson.
Playtechy 2 years ago
all batsmen fear harmy because of his unrivalled bounce. none of those bowlers can get the ball to carry like g.b.h. does
Bergunthera 2 years ago
I think he was only dangerous in 2005. Other than that, he has been useless.
Look at the last ashes - Harmy in Perth with his 'unrivalled bounce' failed hard. And Perth is a pace man's wicket with heaps of bounce.
Playtechy 2 years ago
Johnson?!?!
ROFLMAO!
He has been the worst bowler for Aus this series by a long way. Flintoff not as good as Johnson? You have to be mad, Flintoff is superior to Johnson at the moment by a long way! I know which bowler I would rather face.
Also, Harminson in his prime was superior to all of the bowlers you have named. You can't just be "ok" to reach the number 1 ranked bowler in the world. Something Lee has never done.
RAWWWWRRRRR 2 years ago
Johnson is have a bad series. Look at all the previous series he has played. Been the best bowler by far.
Harmi has only had ONE GOOD series, Johnson has only had one BAD series.
Lee had to go against McGrath and Warne, Flintoff hasn't had to. Lee has been riddled with injury since the retirements of Glenn and Shane.
Flintoff is good, but by no means superior. England's 'anti spirit of cricket' game tactics have helped him a hell of a lot.
Playtechy 2 years ago
Flintoff was always used as Englands work horse, which limited his wicket taking abilities. Flintoff has been riddled with more injuries than Lee.
Also, remind me what happened in the test series which Australia played against India at home in 08. That was the most "anti spirit of cricket" I have ever seen played by Australia, it was disgraceful. The umpiring has been disgraceful this series, not England's fault.
Harminson played brilliantly in all 04 and 05. Which is more than one series.
RAWWWWRRRRR 2 years ago
What happened in the Aus V Ind 08 Series?
Some bad umpiring (Which India blamed Australia for), Some racial comments made by some Indian player to Aussie player, and plenty of send offs given by India (Namely Sreesanth).
Australia done very well considering India's conduct.
Playtechy 2 years ago
Bad umpiring, which some Aussies are moaning about in this series. I just find it hypocritical as they didn't mind it then.
RAWWWWRRRRR 2 years ago
When Australia got bad decisions, they always took it, and moved on. This series, the decisions have been attrocious. But NEVER had Australia blamed England for it, and NEVER did Australia threaten to boycot a test (Both of which India had done).
As far as I'm concerned; Australia's conduct in this series so far as been spot on. The umpiring hasn't been very good at all.
Playtechy 2 years ago
mate, its not as black and white as that. for instance india were aggravated by factors such as the supposed racist comments made by harbhajan to symonds in which they took pontings word for it,and slapped him with a ban, over tendulkar who said that nothing was said.
Boromir1 2 years ago
What England has done this series (deliberate time-wasting in the 1st test), and 2005 Series (Resting their strike bowlers by swapping them with the 12th man so they will be fresh intime for their next spell).
They worked out how much less time Harmi spent on the field then he should have, and most the reason why he bowled well was because he never had to bowl tired.
Playtechy 2 years ago
Australians over rate was under par today as well. Both are as bad as each other. England were just doing what they did with the Bodyline series of 32-33, pushing the rules to the limits, as there were no rules against this. I agree it is bad for cricket but every team does it ast no-one wants to give a inch in cricket. Harbhajan was terrible when he got bowled and refused to move! The most "spirited" cricketer I have seen in recent times was Gilchrist, I really did admire that guy.
RAWWWWRRRRR 2 years ago
Gilly was a great cricketer.
But in saying that Ricky Ponting is also a very fair cricketer. Ofcourse, India's media will have you think he is as crooked as themselfs.
But when he turned down a catch, he was villified by the Indian media, saying too little too late. Well thats more than anyone I know of from international cricket has done in their career.
Playtechy 2 years ago
He has had good points, yes. Yet there are moments where he acted terrible. He has claimed a fair few catches where the ball has hit the ground or just over appealing.
Yes about the Indian media. There was this one video where Clarke made a diving stop and accidental knocked Sachin over and Gavaskar made out that he had done to stop him from getting runs.
RAWWWWRRRRR 2 years ago
Who hasn't claimed catches that didn't carry? Honestly - I can think of 2 (Yes 2) Indian cricketers who appealed after catching a half-voley - one of which didn't even come off the bat.
The Indian media is corrupt; and will have you beleive the Australians are the only one to have ever appealed for a bump-ball. When in actual fact India has done it more often than anyone, not to mention the Ball tampering incidence from pakies and Indies.
Playtechy 2 years ago
you are right for sure, pakies are the cheats of the game if you want to point fingers. i think the aussies play cricket very well and with good conduct and thats from an english man. bring on ashes 2010

Always remember the situation!! It was late on day 4 with Ponting and Clarke making a decent charge to win the test. If they win the Ashes goes with them. Harmi pulls a wicket out of no-where and the rest is history.
