Ryan James Harris (born 11 October 1979) is an Australian cricket coach and former cricketer. He was a right-arm fast bowler who was a member of the Australia national cricket team until retiring in the Ashes tour lead up of 2015 due to a knee injury.[4] It had hampered him for a majority of his career, but despite this, he performed as one of Australia's most highly rated fast bowlers.[5] His first ball bowling of Alastair Cook in the 2013 Ashes series has been rated as one of the greatest balls of all time.[6][7]
