Pretty good explanation Goughy

I agree that the "physical" problem definitely stems from his left side

Cricket is physically an uncomplicated game and Richie Benaud sums it up best for mine - action should be like a windmill with the arms following each other on a parallel plane.

Basically, with Harmy's lead arm taking his head and body towards slip, he has to contort his body to direct the right arm towards off stump

Unfortunately, the problem with Harmison is probably not far removed from the compass theory - mental strength or the lack thereof.

I cant believe that neither he nor the coaching staff arent seeing exactly what we are - he just seems unable to put it into practice on a regular basis
