No matter how imposing the mountain of runs scored by Steve Smith becomes, former England paceman Steve Harmison says the 'cheat' will always be remembered for the Cape Town scandal

"Whatever Steve Smith does, he'll always be remembered for what happened in South Africa.""I can't see anybody's opinion changing on Smith, Bancroft, or Warner. Because of what they've done, they've tarnished the game."

Former Australia captain Steve Waugh, having watched the right-hander closely in recent weeks as the squad's mentor, has been stunned by how Smith has taken his game to another level upon return from a year-long ban.Loading

Who really cares what they think!

And you will always be remembered as dumb!

Just like his ball tampering scandal - hmm pot - kettle sourgrapes 😂😂

I’ve never heard of this guy, did he play cricket

What happened to forgiveness and letting go? Everyone should just move on and play the game of cricket.

All I can say about Steve Smith is well done, and to the Pommy critic's sucked in and better luck next time. Lmao.

Not true

And Harmison will be forever be remembered for bowling the ball to second slip with his first ball in the Brisbane test. Suppose we all have to live with something

I feel like he’s a bit bitter we won the ashes 🤷‍♀️

Sour grapes mate. Steve Smith runs rings around you and your motley crew

So he wasn't part of the mintgate scandal was he Just they didn't get caught or icc didn't what them caught Worst fine before that was one match for ball tampering Obviously the other teams didn't rate tampering because they all did it

He served his ICC approved time, get over it, petals...

Untrue

No he won’t.

No. Don't agree. He took his eye off the ball as captain letting such an act occur and paid the heaviest possible price both career and financially. PLUS people in glass houses. .............

They have a lot to look forward to in their ranking economy.

Sour grapes

Err, who's Steve Harmison? Anybody know?

Harmison won’t be remembered at all. Smith as an all time great.

SWEET 👌

Sour grapes - very unattractive

Harmison will be remembered for.......well not much I suppose!

And Steve Harrison will b remember for that great wide and not bowling very well....at all he was hopeless...

Seriously SMH , you had to carry that ...What a shit reporting !!!!

Looser

Didn’t Marcus Tresthcothic just release in his book how England planned and executed a cheating regime to beat Australia in 2005. Are there different degrees of cheating?

From the man who couldn't bowl on the pitch

At least he will be remembered

Get over it. He has done the time and his batting mojo is there. I am sure there are other stories more important than this...

'Drama-queen'.

Barmy Harmy was part of the 2005 Ashes squad that admitted to using mints to tamper with the ball.

Google 'England cricket cheating'. Very instructive. Ashes19 Cricket

Not newsworthy. Moving on.

Stones and glasshouses come to mind

And he’ll be remembered for bowling the 2nd worst wide in history, beaten only by John Howard. Why would you dickheads even publish that shit?

The Poms are nasty losers aren't they!

Well. He who has never sinned cast the first stone. Everyone. Makes mistakes. Yes he made a big one. But. He hasn’t committed a crime

And we will always remember your bully-boy 'strength' in England and total failure in Australia. Piss off Harmison.

Same old pommy, always whinging!

Now that’s an interesting comment!

It is true. He has been banned from the sport but my little pommy friend should note Australians have a very short memory.

🙁 What a shame. +=♥️ AustraliaJustAndKind

who the fuck is this guy

Sad but true just one goat and that’s it

Ironic .... the english sre renowned for their ball tampering by keeping the shine on one the side via a lozenge... just ask steve waugh

Coming from a bowler who had his ball maintained by Monty Panesar...

Pommy bowlers remembered as looses trying to bowl Smith. He's a legend while weak bowlers just faded memory's.

Who cares if he smashes the poms.

Pat Cummins bowls at the 4th stump. Steve Harmison bowled at the 4th slip. That is what I always will remember him for. The bloke's irrelevant - what he thinks doesn't matter.

Actually Smith’s fault that he was a weak captain to allow the cheating to take place ... now that he no longer has the pressure of the captaincy he is able to shine with his amazing ability with the bat ...

Isn't it interesting that, since the Aussies were caught tampering with the ball last year & harsh punishments were handed out, the English bowlers have had difficulty reverse swinging the ball? Maybe the Aussies weren't the only ones with sandpaper?

Cricket is boring to the observer a game for colonial slaves and convicts... So there’s bound to be cheating and scams ..it’s the nature of the players ..The sooner they combine cricket with that other boring sport of surfing and have them hit each other with bats the better

I love it when these English cricketers and supporters talk about cheating but conveniently forget about their own players cheating, including players like Atherton. Difference is they were fined & rapped over the knuckles. They got away with it.

Have a feeling that will be forgotten in time, particularly if he knocks a few of Brabmans numbers about.

I didn’t see Smith with any sandpaper?

flog

I agree Harmi, a scandal...Scandal that unnamed cricketers in 2005 can use sticky substances to shine the ball .......That Athers had a quarry in his pocket & remained your Captain...... That Steve Smith gets 1 match from the ICC but real sanction ACB. OhHarmiYouTossa

Harmison is on the money

Quite possibly. But the more runs he scores the faster it will fade.

What a muppet.

Who?

This is why he can never be captain again, regardless of how many runs he makes.

Who cares. Smith is shitting on ya now. The game still comes down to who wins in the end

No, cricket enthusiasts are better than that.

Obviously hasn’t read Monty Panesar’s book.

Will Steve Harrison be remembered in fifty years time? I think not!

We are the only country that punished our players.

Does harm forget about mintgate the mints they used to shine the ball. Harmison is a hypocrite

Forgiveness IS a virtue. Even egotists should give it a go.

We've got to move on

Harrison is a jealous has been.

Does he think the same about Atherton and Gatting? I guess he has a point, I always think of Botham as a drunk and Boycott as someone guilty of a ‘brutal assault’ on his girlfriend.

Ball tampering was and is pretty standard stuff in international cricket..it is cheating but Smith was no orphan when it came to international captains and ball tampering

Harmison, who’s he again and who gives a stuff what he says.

That's ok, SteveHarmison10 will only ever be remembered for bowling the worst ball ever to kick off a test match

So is SteveHarmison10 conveniently forgetting his role in cheating in 2005? Mint boy. Even whilst cheating he still managed to bowl so well the wish 2nd slip wished they were wearing keeper's gloves.

He’s a fine one to talk

He was the captain did u see him rub the ball

Yes, and I still remember Stuart Broad absolutely smashing the ball to slip and not walking because the game was on the line.

Anyone for a mint?

Very wide take from harmison

Whinging Pom?

But SteveHarmison10 is a fuckstick

I’ll say it again....another sore loser

Coming from the bowler who bowled the worst ball in Ashes history!!

Michael Atherton, 1994 In the 'dirt in pocket' England cricket team, in 2005, which SteveHarmison10 was a part of using mints to shine the ball to produce more swing. James Anderson and Stuart Broad, 2010 stopping the ball with their spikes. Enjoy the loss 😪😪😪😪 Ashes

Every time when I saw Aussie cricket I try hard make myself to forget the word sandpaper.

Wide of the mark there, Harmy- very, very, wide

Smithy has redeemed himself as the No 1 batsman in the world, but it was his compromised captaincy that will continue to deprive him from returning to that office.

And Harmison will be remembered for the biggest. Heating scandal in 05 which was endorsed by their coach and that ball to 2nd slip and his terrblible bowling in the 5-0 whitewash. He isn't salty, he is salt and vinegar, salty and acidic

It does not matter. In the big scheme of things cricket is a minnow, a nonentity. In the small scheme it is nothing but a game, no more important than snakes and ladders - except it makes money for the promoters.

What a mountain out of a molehill. In all cricket levels over time fast bowlers have tried to alter the ball for better performance (probably Harmison for that matter). It is only Australia out of all the cricketing countries that have introduced such a draconian punishment.

Sore British winging Pom losers ....

Stupid lollies

Just normal a pommy bad looser

That’s what rehabilitation is about.

New English vowels: A, I and O. They got rid of EU.

Yep .. Harmison a test bowler is entitled to his opinion So am I .. Harmison was a shit bowler - almost single handedly lost the Poms a test in Australia with his erratic bowling (I remember 8 wides in a row)

Sugar Sugar , we remember you Steve Harmison

Agreed.

Was he in the super sub team ? Ashes .... I think he was in that era

This bloke obviously has no idea that many Aussies are from mating Pommie convicts? Aussies think it is great I am told the greatest living cricketer is labeled a *****.🤠

England's class shining through

Exactly

Poor comments from Harmison. Unfortunately every cricketing nation has cheats. None are immune. Should have kept his mouth shut.

Not condoning what the Aussies did but I seem to remember that England was accused of ball tampering at Lords against the South Africans in the early 90s.

Steve Smith is a Legend always will be!

LOL

Sour grapes LOSERRR!

Who?

Harmison will be remembered for being a big sook who missed his Mum and couldn’t tour. Bowled more than a few wides too.

Who cares what he thinks. I'm sure Steve Smith doesn't.

Hansie Cronje isn't discussed much anymore.

Former professional struggling for relevance makes bold claim. How sad for him that he needs to be controversial just to be heard

nobby15 Yum Steve, you absolute hypocrite

nobby15 yes

And so will you

Nah.

Steve Harmiison is a loser. He and his team lost fair and square, yep a loser.

Sounds like Steve Harrison doesn't Want to get over it

Pretty disappointing, that. He had mental health struggles of his own you think he'd be a bit more mindful and empathetic before saying such things.

Steve who?

What an awful story to have chosen to have printed ... the leftie media seems to hate Steve Smith as much as they do Alan Jones Do we look forward to your article on Tanya Plibersek’s husband always being remembered as an imprisoned smack smuggler? I think not

Smith is incredible. He seems like a good guy. But that Australian team he captained was just about the most toxic and stupid team in world sport (outside of NRL of course).

Thanks you big sooky monster.

Spose Atherton will always be a cheat too, I have never forgotten that.

Enough already. Stupid claim, stupid click bait repetition

He will be remembered as best turnaround story..

This from the team made the ball extra shiny with lollies? Harmie just bowled another one to second slip there.

And what about the edgbaston test of famous Ashes series when kasprowicz was given out when Australia needed 2 runs u won the match and the series why not recall him and recent world cup everyone knows how u won wasn't NZ deserving winner ?

Sore losers

Tbf no matter how many wickets Harmison got, he will forever be remembered for THAT wide

Steve Harmison will be remembered for bowling 1 good spell his entire career.

Good!

whoinventedbodyline

..and you’ll always be remembered as a ‘shit’ bowler.
