Cos the guy is pants
It was intriging to see harmison bowl his best spell ive ever seen him bowl when he was forced to bowl off a shorter run up and not try to bowl at 100% of his speed.
Hopefully the England coaching staff will note this and we might see a new and improved Harmison run up come Headingly and further afield (if he's fit to play).
It was widely known that last year Kirby just had a bad season, similar to a golfer getting the yipps. He just lost it.
Much like fellow yorkshiremen Gavin Hamilton did last season.
But he has come back this season more like the promise he showed as a youngster.
As for no disearnable gap between the divisions.
Just look at the Bonus points from the 2 Divisions.
Not one Divison 2 side has got even 35 batting points.
Yet 3 Div 1 sides have over 40! batting bonus points.
This just shows that Division 1 has alot better batting (or that somehow div 1 has worse bowlers, which i doubt :P)
Also compare the front line batting of teams like Derbyshire / Somerset and Durham in division 2 compared to the batting line up of teams like Surrey, Lancashire, Middlesex and Warwickshire and its clear to me that as far as bowling goes it makes ahell of alot of difference as to which division they ply their trade in when it comes to taking their average into account.
This might have also being why glenn chapple got into the england squad dispite his poor Div1 average compared to other bowlers good div2 average.
