Australia's seam bowling attack. Whereas Atherton had played 115 tests, Harmison achieved the feat in his 62nd test. He also took the wicket of Simon Katich caught in the gully for a duck in the second over of Australia's innings. He had bowled well to a supportive audience, and should have taken the wicket of Michael Clarke late on in the first day but the appeal was turned down. He went on to take the wicket of Australian keeper Brad Haddin. In his second innings Harmison made 19 not out off 28 balls but could not prevent the Australians from totalling 445 and proceeding to an innings victory. Harmison went on to play in the 5th Test at the Oval; on the final day of the series, Harmison claimed the three penultimate wickets to fall, including those of Peter Siddle and Stuart Clark with consecutive deliveries, both caught after attempting to play to the leg side, to create a unique opportunity to win the Ashes with a hat-trick (Ben Hilfenhaus successfully blocked the hat-trick ball). England won by 197 runs to take the series 2–1. Late career and retirement For his performances in 2010, he was named as 12th man in the World Test XI by the ICC. Harmison announced his retirement from all forms of games on 6 October 2013. After cricket and life in football Following his retirement from cricket, Harmison has featured on Sky Sports' cricket programming as a pundit and commentator. However, on 8 February 2015, Harmison was appointed manager of Ashington in the ninth-tier of English football. He resigned from the role in October 2017.
