Steve Harmison, the England fast bowler, has struck back at Geoff Boycott after the former opening batsman had launched a scathing attack at him in a column for Daily Telegraph.

Good on Harmison, his place in the side is under scrutiny, but there is still fight in the dog. He is fighting his critics, hopefully he can start to do the same on the field.

Well Its like when Nothing going at your way then everybody start laugh at you..There was a time when Same Peoples have counted him as world number 1 test bowler and he was..Now Hes in difficult mind stat..I think people should encourage him instead of realizing him that hes doing nothing in team..

I feel He'll bounce Back..Just need some time..
With same approach you will get nothing except one more player to say good bye from Cricket...

Quite right Harmison. Everyone involved with cricket knows that Boycott is full of crap. He changes his opinions more often than his clothes and contradicts himself constantly. The sooner TMS boot him the better.

No, you need to learn to write in sentences so people can understand you.

Kicking a man when they are down is pretty low. I hope Harmison proves Boycott wrong.

 

[Hooper]

Is Harmison still trying to prove he is good enough for Test Cricket? Geez, England, can't you see when a player is past his use-by date? e.g Jason Gillespie.

 

[Adarsh]

I don't think Harmison should've done that. Boycott's just doing his job really, since he's a pundit, and yeah, Harmison is entitled to his opinion too. But he should try and reply by actions, not words.

 

[barmyarmy]

I've just heard Boycott on 5-live defending himself. He's obviously feeling a bit touchy cos all Pienaar did was ask him if Strauss had been feeling the pressure from the media and the next thing Boycs was ranting about Harmison!
Whilst I agree that the best response is on the pitch, Boycott is a seriously unpleasant person although apparently not as bad as Henry Blofeld who has an even bigger ego.
Reminds me of the old quote, "now you know that no-one has a higher opinion of you than you do".

Yeah, I read the article yesterday, generally getting more shocked as it went on. It was very scathing and it'll make it awkward should Boycott ever have to interview a player in the future. I guess at least with Harmison, he'll say what he thinks in an interview, instead of doing the whole media trained routine that is usually associated with sportsman today.
