Steve Harmison makes bold prediction for Joe Root’s middle and Ashes 2025-26 series
Former England fast bowler and Ashes 2005 hero Steve Harmison From the title created a prediction, Joe root will not only perform, but dominate in Australia. Talking to the fox cricket, Harmison claimed“People have been telling me for two years that Joe averages closer to 50. He doesn’t. I think he averages closer to 150.” The veteran pacer believes Root’s current rhythm, mentality and hunger for trade will see him tally even Alastair Cook’s legendary 766 from the 2010-11 Ashes.
Harmison also believes the Stars are adapting to England. With Skipper of Australia Pat Cummins A back injury and England’s fearless new generation embracing an aggressive ‘Bazball’ style, the former pacer sees this as England’s moment. Harmison added that while the root is shaky for the first 15-20 balls, his consistency and patience make it nearly stable. Confidently predicting a 3-1 win for England, the tourists no longer feared Australia, a mental edge that could break through a decade-long drought in the southern hemisphere.
“Come to Australia and Smalge Australia and Joe Stump because I think he’s the best series with a child’s mind and cumsins. Approach to the game “ Harmison finished.

Root Australia Challenge: A battle for greatness
For Joe root, these ashes are another series, a personal history waiting to be rewritten. His Test career has more than 11,000 runs, but the lack of an Australian century has long been the only mighty one in another expressive record. Root’s Quest for Purchase isn’t just about form; about inheritance. It is within touching distance of Tendulkar’s record of 15,921 runs and narrows the length considerably.
On the other hand, every visiting side has dominated at home since 2011, remaining a giant at home. Still, Root’s renewed confidence and England’s attacking approach offer a fresh narrative. If he can settle into the bounce early and settle into his rhythm, perhaps a couple of centuries for Mor may not be too far off. The 2025-26 Ashes may very well be remembered as the series that restored the Germanness of the roots and England’s agonizing wait for a long, painful triumph.
