Ryan Harris recovering to play a part in Australia's Ashes campaign
Ryan Harris will sit out again for Australia A on Friday against Ireland, but Ashes preparations appear on track for Michael Clarke's key fast bowler.
James Pattinson shapes as the spearhead and Peter Siddle the glue for the Test attack, but it's Harris who many believe can put England under real pressure starting on July 10 at Trent Bridge.
The injury-prone quick is unlikely to be up to playing every match, and Australia must formulate a plan to get the most out his temperamental body.
"He's almost there," said Australia A coach Troy Cooley of Harris' recovery from an achilles strain.
"He's really starting to click in.
"In our practice game before the tour he came in at about half a run up.
"He's adding a bit more each week. He'll have a full run before long but all's looking good.
"He's definitely looking nice and strong and starting to get the fitness he'll need to be ready for the Ashes and that's the focus for him."
Tasmania seamer Jackson Bird is also on the recovery list from stress fractures in his back and will sit out the Ireland match.
But Cooley is confident Bird is also in good shape.
Victorian Pattinson was ultra impressive in his first-ever red-ball hit-out on English soil, claiming seven wickets in the four-day romp for Australia A over Scotland.
Pattinson said Harris was a "weapon" for the Australian side.
"He's been bowling quite frequently against us so he's come along quite well and I'd say in a month's time when the Ashes start he'll be up and running for the first Test," Pattinson said.
"He's obviously a big weapon for us. He's played 15 Test matches and averages
"To have him back in the fold is fantastic for us and makes for really good competition within the bowlers."

Egg Prices and the Cause of Harris’ Defeat
Since everyone else has given their two cents on the cause of Harris’ defeat, I guess I will weigh in with my two cents. This comes with the warning; I am an economist, so everything looks like a nail to me.
First, there is one point that should be front and center in every discussion of the election results. Harris won overwhelmingly among more informed voters who follow the news closely. She got clobbered among less informed voters, people who, by their self-description, say they follow the news little or not at all.
This is important because it is not plausible that a big factor in Harris defeat could have been positions she took long ago, like when she was running for president in Whether those positions helped her or hurt her, the fact is that Harris almost certainly won by a large margin by people who were aware of her presidential campaign.
Rather, insofar as issues mattered in a very close election (Trump’s popular vote margin was less than Hilary Clinton’s in ), it had to be issues that the least informed voters could be aware of. This is where the price of eggs, or more generally the cost of living comes in.
The cost of living did rise rapidly under the Biden-Harris administration. We know this was almost entirely due to the pandemic, since almost every other country had similar inflation. It isn’t plausible to argue that France, Germany, and Australia all had high inflation because of Biden’s recovery package.
But that is not what the public saw or heard. The public heard Donald Trump endlessly harping on high grocery prices and that he would bring them down. The media (I mean the NYT and CNN, not Fox and OANN) largely went along with this line, rarely pointing out that it was pandemic inflation, as opposed to Biden inflation.
We were told the public blames Biden for inflation not the pandemic. This really meant that it was the media that blamed didn’t report on inflation from the pandemic as being “p

Spain: How Mercadona managed to go from a loss in shares to a historic record in just three months
Mercadona reinvents itself. The Valencian supermarket chain, which was losing market share until April last year, has now broken all records, reaching a market share of 27% in August, “an unprecedented level”, noted Bernardo Rodilla today, retail director at Kantar. during the presentation of a study on the market situation.
Shortly before the summer of last year, Mercadona had already reached a market share of 26%, but since then it began to steadily lose market share due to increased food prices. And the problem is, as Juan Roig, the president of Mercadona, admitted last March, “we have raised prices a lot”. Although he justified the decision by saying that “if we hadn’t done it, the catastrophe in the production chain would be impressive,” it cost him the loss of participation.
The turning point came, assures the Kantar boss, when the company announced the price reduction for a total of products in April, which would bring its customers an estimated saving of more than million euros by the end of the year.
