Confidence is coming back, says Harmison

Steve Harmison’s spirits have lifted considerably after a vastly improved performance against Western Australia on day one of the Perth warm-up. His tour had got off to a wretched start in the opening game at Lilac Hill last week.”It wasn’t brilliant today, but it was a lot better than at Lilac Hill andthere’s been a little bit of an improvement since then,” he said. “I was possibly trying too hard during that first match, but it was a one-day game andI’ve never really played much one-day cricket.”My confidence was dented a touch and I struggled early on, but I started to get some rhythm today and it felt a lot better. I’m gradually getting my confidence to where I want it to be and I want to get better and better.”Hopefully I can get some more overs under my belt in the next couple of weeks and get my rhythm fully back from that.”
