The Ashes 2013: Australia quick Ryan Harris in doubt for England series after new injury setback Harris, 33, has returned to Australia from the Indian Premier League to have an Achilles injury assessed but is expected to be sidelined until early June. It is the latest in a long line of injuries for Harris, who spent a year out of action until the end of the recent domestic season. Performances for Queensland earned him a recall but the decision to take the IPL dollar rather than continue to build his fitness was seen as a risk by Cricket Australia officials who did not want him to go to India. Australian fast bowling is well stocked but with damaged goods. Of those touring England this summer, James Pattinson recently had groin surgery, Mitchell Starc left the India tour in February to have bone spurs removed from an ankle, and now Harris is injured again. Peter Siddle hit back at suggestions that this was the worst Australian side selected for an Ashes tour. He said: "They like to have a bit of a chirp about it but when you look back, they're saying we're a bit weak now but they've been weak for 100 years when we've dominated series. We'll go as the underdogs no doubt but we're going over to win. That's how Australian cricket plays.
