England’s Steve Harmison has said that there is no chance of his body standing up to another Ashes series, despite desperately wanting to be among the England squad that leaves for Australia for the 2010 series.
Harmison’s comments owe as much to his pride as his body, the bowler is not content with being a bit part player in the England set up and is frustrated at the way he is treated by the selectors.
In an interview with SkySports, Harmison quite rightly laid it on the line for the England selectors:
“At the end of the day I don’t want to stand in somebody else’s way, to keep getting left out, brought back, left out brought back and people saying we can do with some firepower or we can do with this and do with that when it comes to playing for England, that’s not something I want to be any more.”
Harmison took three second innings wickets in the deciding test at the Oval, helping England to a 2-1 series victory.
He is currently looking forward to helping county side Durham to win back to back championship’s with two games remaining in the season.
