The role of a bowler

This one is slightly away from my usual targets, a bit like the man himself. The Telegraph has a line or two about Steve Harmison, the England pace bowler whose accuracy is somewhat suspect at present. Apparently it has been suggested that England's strike bowler might "hold the ball across the seam" to aid his control. "His fellow seamers might not be happy, as it would scuff up the ball" but that would be price worth paying if he took wickets. Alternatively this bowler who during the Ashes was being compared to Curtly Ambrose, could just learn to grip the ball properly and bowl straight.
