Ryan Harris Retires

[Smeg Head]

That day where his knees are just too buggered has sadly come a couple of months early. This was always going to be his final series so its so damn dissapointing that he isn't able to get out there.

All the best Harris, have been my favourite of the recent fast bowling cartel. Englands chances just got a hell of a lot better.

[Carbine Chaos]

A great of the game, even though he only spent a few years in the side. An amazing record and it seems like he is an amazing bloke.

Tributes here.

Cummins replacing him? Lol.

 

[Righteo]

Brilliant bowler and top bloke.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Huge loss. Champion bloke and an exceptional bowler. The upcoming Ashes Series as a whole is poorer without a fully fit Ryan Harris steaming in.

Really spewing about this news.

Also WTF picking Pat Cummins for an Ashes tour after not playing First-Class cricket for 2 years.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

England have no excuses now, they should definitely win the Ashes.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Well done on a great career Rhino, one of my favourites, a true warrior

 

[Pugsley]

Top bloke on and off the field. All the best in retirement, Rhino.

 

[getgaff]

Big news here. Was always going to be his last series but a warrior and lion hearted bowler who would swing the ball in and out and was no mug with the willow. Top guy off the field as well as on it.

Enjoy your retirement Big Rhino even though you're retiring with severe damage to your knees.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

All the best Rhyno.

An absolute champion bowler and top bloke.

 

[Zach Package]

I still maintain that he'd have at least 300 test wickets if not for the knees, even with him spending the first half of his twenties not getting near the national side

Could have been something super special, and still was really

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Congrats on a great career.

The Ashes become a little less exciting now Great bowler, hopefully Hazlewood can provide his persistent bowling. Starc/Mitchell/Hazle looking the likely bowling combo with Lyon now.

 

[SherbertLemon]

An absolute champion. Could have been one of the all time greats if not for his knees.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

An absolute champion. Could have been one of the all time greats if not for his knees.

Without knees I can't have seen him doing much.

 

[SherbertLemon]

Without knees I can't have seen him doing much.

BIONIC KNEES BRO. DO YOU EVEN TERMINATOR.

 

[Power Raid]

OMG

 

[Carbine Chaos]

For England, this would be like Ji...Stu...wait...

...honestly, none of their players come close to a rampaging Rhino at his best. Hope Anderson enjoys his English 'records'. We all know that Harris kicks his ass all over the shop twenty times over.

Going to miss the champion.

 

[La Dolce Vita]

FUUUUUUUUUUUU

Well Done Rhino
Luv your work

 

[Pera]

Fantastic bowler. We're sure happy to see the back of him (always destroyed us).

Congratulations on a brilliant career.

 

[grizzlym]

A great bowler. Gave it his all and fought through some real pain.

 

[The_Reaper]

Great bowler and will be missed.

I'm going to assume that he'll move into coaching given that he dabbled a bit with Australia A

 

[Kram]

Fantastic bowler.

Ryan Harris: 27 Tests, 113 wickets. Bruce Reid: 27 Tests, 113 wickets. Both champions we'd have loved to have seen more of.

Ryan Harris was also about 27 before he had a good FC season, which makes it a bit hard to compare his career to the typical good test bowler.

 

[HBF]

What a career he forged in just 27 test matches. What could have been had it not been for his dodgy knees.
