Miller warns Harmison he must start over again

Steve Harmison has

been told by national

selector Geoff Miller

he must 'go back to

the drawing board' in

order to save his

England career.

Harmison ended

England's Test series

in New Zealand out of

favour, out of the side

and facing an

uncertain future in

international cricket.

Disappointment: Harmison

Dropped after their

dreadful defeat in the

first Test in Hamilton,

he and fellow Ashes

winner Matthew

Hoggard watched

from the sidelines as

England came back to

win 2-1, their

replacements Stuart

Broad and James

Anderson impressing

in backing up man-of-the-

series Ryan

Sidebottom.

With Andrew

Flintoff poised to

return once he proves

his fitness, 6ft 5in

Durham paceman

Harmison knows he

has a huge fight on his

hands to resume his

Test career, in which

he has taken more

than 200 wickets.

Miller admitted:

"He's got to go back to

the drawing board and

start putting in some

performances with

Durham and then

we'll reassess it.

"But, at this moment

in time, he is in a kind

of question-mark

place."
