Buttony Things

On life as a fast bowler

 The Ashes 2006/6

Angus Fraser, writing in The Independent gives a bowler’s perspective on the challenges facing Steve Harmison if the England quick is to resurrect his form and help reverse his team’s Ashes fortunes.

Fraser has a writing style that is the complete antithesis of his bowling. Where his delivery was once metronomic and dispassionate his writing is engaging and emotive and I find him a pleasure to read.

This article in particular makes excellent reading and anyone that has ever bowled an embarrassingly bad over will empathise with the poignant picture Gus paints.
