Can Harmison stand up to the Indian challenge?

With the tour of India around the corner the question that many fans are asking is can Harmy, England's enigmatic quick stand up to the challenge and perform well away from home?

Harmison who after his disappointing performance in the first test in New Zealand this year was rightfully dropped as he looked out of sorts and England were just frustrated to have a bowler who is talented but performs inconsistently but credit should go to Harmy for going back to County cricket and taking bagful of wickets as he looked in good rhythm and bowled with good pace. Finally all those good performances in county cricket bore fruit as he was given the chance to play against South Africa and to his credit he bowled with good pace as well as control throughout the Oval test match, even in the onedayers that followed he performed well but can he do well in India where the wickets won't suit quicks? and there will always be question marks over his commitment over his attitude when England plays away from home, yes when he gets it right he can be a handful like who can forget his spell of 7 for 12 against Westindies when he bowled with good pace and got awkward bounce and reminded many of us of a young Ambrose, or for the matter his spells in the Ashes 05 but for those good days one won't forget his dreadful performance in 06/07 Ashes where he looked short of match practice and more so he did not look committed.

One good thing is that last time around though he was not great when he bowled in subcontinent in 05/06 still he bowled some fine spells like in the first test in Pakistan and at Mohali in the first innings where he got S'wag with a brute of a delivery. Let us see how will Harmy do this time around.
