Im not saying his action is bad, but it does look a little jerky at times.
I'll take that bet.

Harris in the 6 tests recently against Australia took 24 wickets @ 32.

I rate Harris, I think he's a perfectly decent bowler and IMO there isn't particularly much to choose between Harris and Swann.

So I think Swann's perfectly capable of picking up 15 wickets at around 30-35ish.
