"Ricky is one of the most complete players - front foot, back foot, temperament, he was awesome, and he still is to be fair, and I think he might, just might, be the difference between the two sides in Australia when it comes to run-scoring. "He is not easily ruffled. The others around the world - (Sachin) Tendulkar, (Brian) Lara, (Jacques) Kallis, (Rahul) Dravid - you could unsettle them but not Ricky Ponting. "If he gets in and gets the bit between his teeth there is only Kevin Pietersen in the England side that can match him, and Kevin has struggled a little, but I still think he will be one of the best players in the Ashes for England." Harmison, who has 63 international caps to his credit, helped England win the Ashes last year and believes memories of that defeat will give Ponting extra motivation - like it did four years ago when he led Australia to a five-Test whitewash. "He lost the Ashes twice in England and he made a point to go and do it well last time and I think he might be wanting to make a similar point this time," the 31-year-old Durham player said. "He has a different side but I think he will have a similar determination to really go hard at England, especially in Brisbane in the first Test." Durham fast bowler Graham Onions helped England defeat Australia last year and Harmison has insisted that ECB were wrong to deny his colleague a central contract after he missed the whole of the summer with a career-threatening back injury. "I think he should have had a central contract because he has worked so hard to get there and he got injured playing for England," Harmison said. "It is just unfortunate that Graham has got a pretty horrendous injury and he is staring down the barrel at nine months off." :hysterical::hysterical: :finger::finger::finger:

In recent times, the West Indian and the Pakistani fast bowlers are going to disagree with Harmison. Ponting was ruffled indeed - that too by short pitched bowling from these two teams. Against the now-tainted Mohamad Aamer, he often looked clueless.

I didn't realize Chanderpauls' onslaught on Harmison messed up his mind this much. 39.1 Harmison to Chanderpaul, FOUR, poor, wide ball but a top shot - back-cutting for four. Brilliant 39.2 Harmison to Chanderpaul, SIX, that is stunning! Absolutely brilliant from Chanderpaul. Down on one knee - almost both knees - he scooped underneath it and sent it sailing over fine leg for six. Special shot, that! 39.3 Harmison to Chanderpaul, FOUR, the crowd are alive now! Four more! An orthodox and powerfully struck four over extra cover. This is how you play a batting Powerplay! Can Harmison respond? He's going around the wicket now 39.4 Harmison to Chanderpaul, FOUR, shot! Four more to Chanderpaul, walking into another aerial extra-cover driven boundary 39.5 Harmison to Chanderpaul, FOUR, another! This is breathless cricket from Chanderpaul, standing tall and slapping it straight back past Harmison. My word - he absolutely drilled that This is quite outstanding - unmissable cricket from Chanderpaul 39.6 Harmison to Chanderpaul, FOUR, short, wide and Chanderpaul steps to leg and slaps it over extra cover for another four! That's how to play the Powerplay. Audacious, wonderful cricket
