Ryan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739 hopeful of being available for Sydney Test – Cricket News Update
Australia’s injury-ravaged fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, to be played at Sydney.
The veteran quick has just come out of a severe hip injury, and expressed his intensions to be available for second game of the much-anticipated four-match series against the World Champs, starting from December
26, 2011.
Harris earlier claimed to be fully fit for the Boxing Day Test; however, his name was excluded from the line-up after his private confession to one of the selectors that he would not be ready for the Melbourne
contest.
The pacer lamented over missing the high-voltage opening Test, but stated his immediate aim is to ensure his availability for the subsequent encounter of the crucial competition.
“I felt like I was going to be up for Boxing Day but, to be honest, I'm just not quite ready. I had a chat with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-John-Bichel-c44426 after the game and he said after seeing me bowl and talking to the medical staff at
the Heat, I was a bit short of a gallop. I won't say I'm a definite starter for Sydney, but I'm aiming for that game and we'll go from there," said Harris who earned a baggy green on the tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 last year.
The 32-year-old seamer gathered a lot of praise after hi superb performance in the recent tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, where he grabbed 11 wickets in a couple of matches.
However, soon after his impressive show against the islanders, he injured himself and is yet to regain his complete fitness. The speed star also shared that even though he has been facing serious fitness problems,
quitting international cricket is not in his mind.
“I hate to use the word, but I'm definitely not retiring. I was a year ago with my knee problem but that's come good now. I know my body can handle four and five-day cricket, it's just a matter of getting up
and going again," added the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 speed merchant who has bagged 35 scalps so far in his eight-Test-old career.
