I reckon more batsman would prefer facing Stephen Harmison instead of Brett Lee.
I seriously doubt that. Justin Langer said this year that he was hoping that retiring from Test Matches would allow him to relax more at the crease and face a lower standard of bowlers, but he was amazed by the level of bowling he faced in the First Division of the County Championship, with Harmison being one of the bowlers that terrorised him. Harmison on form is far more deadly than Lee. He's got far more attributes that would make him far more difficult to face. His height means not only 90+mph but also bounce and swing, Harmison on form is a sight to behold. Lee mainly relies on out and out pace, and then abit of swing.
Harmison > Lee when they're both on form for me.
