BREAKING NEWS: Ryan Harris OUT of Ashes tour. Huge blow for him & Australia. Huge bonus for England. Wonderful bowler.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 4, 2015

One of the very few well behaving Australian bowlers.

The praise comes flooding in for Ryan Harris. Someone said: 'He wasn't a typical Australian', tributes don't come any better than that.
— Paddy Power (@paddypower) July 4, 2015

Australia will surely miss him.
