Who bowled the worst over for England to bein a series?

Harmison's over in the test where the first ball went to Flintoff at 2nd slip, or

Flintoff's over where he bowled about 13 in wides?

The Harmison over will go down in Ashes legend. Even 100 years from now, people will recall "there was a bowler who used to bowl way ward like no bowler before and since has ever bowled, all the more on abroad tours...... "

Let's face it, England know they're crap at ODI cricket, the Flintoff over didn't hurt them that much.

They genuinely believed they could match the Aussies in the Tests...for one ball.

Therefore, Harmison easily.

IMO that proves far more about inflated expectations than about either bowler.

In terms of the over...

Flintoff by a considerable distance.

In terms of an actual delivery...

Harmison.

Flintoff's was worse. Harmison's was more significant. Having siad that I didn't actually see Flintoff's over due to the infamous Channel Nine scheduling.

Harmison easily. The tests mattered infinitely more than the ODIs and that set the tone for a series full of tripe from Harmy.
