JON 'DUTCHY' HOLLAND

[Bob Loblaw]

having a look at spinners around the nation
Bryce McGain (Vic) 57 FC wickets @ ave. of 33.82
Cameron White (Vic) 162@38.55
Beau Casson (NSW) 110@40.65
Dan Cullen (SA) 120@41.50
Aaron Heal (WA) 28@43.17
Cullen Bailey (SA) 55@46.36
Nathan Hauritz (NSW) 63@49.57
Jason Krejza (Tas) 43@50.09
Xavier Doherty (Tas) 61@55.62

Holland, S.Smith (NSW) and O'Keefe (NSW) haven't played enough to read anything into their averages and MacGill has retired from international cricket. Probably some others I missed. Didn't look into One Day stats because that's a whole different ball game.
A lot of people questioned White's test selection (with McGain out injured) but the above makes his case a strong one.
Although stats don't tell the whole story, if Holland is as good as the great mal proclaims, could Vic have Australia's 3 top spinners?

thanks for the BL, i was suprised with Whites stats being the next best altho i was happy with his selection..and all we can say about the vics having the best 3 spinners is i hope not they dnt need somethin else to brag about!

MCGAIN
May miss the whole season with a shoulder injury
Early reports suggest he will miss a minimum of 2 months, maximum of the season
At Mcgains[37?] age that could be the end of his first class career

The door is open for another spinner
One step closer for Jon DUTCHY Holland

Saw him bowl on the last day of the SACA SS game he bowled well alot of control and had batmen in all sorts of trouble and fergi well he had no idea. He should have had harris out caught behind also.

1/40 off 10 for him today

1/40 off 10 for him today

Had 2 LBW decisions turned down both looked very very out[including Symonds]
The commentators said this about the 2nd one

"WHAT WAS THAT MISSING."
John MOSS: Thats plumb out, extraordinary decision

He was very impressive again
I know the career is in infancy
But, he looks a very good bowler

Could he be a left arm spinning Test bowler of ilk ?
Ray Bright
Murray Bennett
Alan Border
Michael Clarke
Boof lehmann
Just a few lefties to play in the last 30 years

The way DUTCHY strides in looks very Bishen Bediesque
if he is 66.2% as good as the bearded shiek of tweek he will be a star
