The clamour for Harmison

The BBC is currently running a poll on their cricket website - should Steve Harmison be recalled for the second test? Terrifyingly, 86%, yes let me repeat that, 86%, think he should (although as the BBC point out, 'the result of this vote should not be taken to represent public opinion').

Don't give in. Stay strong my friends. Don't let one poor bowling performance by Anderson, Broad et al make you forget the last four years of disappointment. Nothing has changed. Harmison has bowled well for Durham this season, but is that really a surprise? Onions for Panesar is surely the only change that can be justified at this stage.
