Try Hard
I was always a rubbish bowler. Even when I captained a team I refused to bowl myself I was that bad. Slow right arm, no turn, no spin.I remember one over that went so bad that one ball went flying (well gently rolling) down legside and passed the batsman off the strip, but I'd already given away so many wides in that over that the umpire just looked at me with pity and called "over". I didn't know whether to celebrate or cry.
Well for all us crappy bowlers of the world, Steve Harmison has now given us an excuse. Apparently his 78 ball over that went for 20 runs and one wicket was because he tried to hard.
Harmy says: "I was probably trying too hard. With only 124 on the board I went at it too hard. Maybe I lost a bit of focus rather than staying in control. Sometimes that's not a bad thing, trying to bowl really fast before getting things in control. Hopefully I've learnt from that."
After 20 years of thinking I was rubbish, I am now relieved to know that I was trying too hard and bowling too fast. But then any slower for me would have been underarm...
