The first test thread had a coupla fellas sticking up for Haury Id rather talk up the Mike Tyson ballet society. HAURITZ MUST GO They dropped Krezja allegedly for his lack of economy in one test in Perth after getting 8 for in an innings in his first test

Krejza: Goes 0/199 off of 31 overs in a tour match in India, then took 8/215 which was the most ever runs conceded in a Test innings on debut finishing with match figures of 12/358, he got dropped got back into the side and took 1/103 & 0/106 in his last Test match.

Yeah economic.

From reading that id suggest REB is in fact Nathan Hauritz.

Oh that is GOLD.
I can't wait for his response, or maybe his next song.

From reading that id suggest REB is in fact Nathan Hauritz. Talks about his 1 five for yet forgets to mention thats the test that is under intense scrutiny for match fixing
Bottom line is if NH plays in the Ashes we are gonna find it very hard to take 20 wickets on enough occasions to win back the urn.

2009 Ashes:

Graeme Swann- 5 Tests, 14 wickets @ 40.50, 3.32 rpo, SR 73

Nathan Hauritz-3 Tests, 10 wickets @ 32.10, 3.10 rpo, SR 62

I was one of those defending Hauritz. While your list clearly wasn't meant to be taken seriosuly I freely admit Hauritz has bolwed poorly in this Test. Reading between the lines I think Ponting might be giving the selector's (sorry they call themselves the NSP these days) an out to drop Hauritz ahead of the Ashes especially after North's spot saving knock. That's the only reason I can come up with bowling Hauritz into the ground when he (and the pitch) weren't doing anything.

So which is it mate?
Are you defending him or not?

Would this ex WA off spinner be an option ?


And no it ain't the kid on the left.

Being rational? I said he bowled well in the first innings in the 1st Test (which he did) and said he didn't bowl well in the second innings and so far in the 2nd Test he hasn't. Is that not fair?

That other guy addressed something "to all those who defended him in the 1st Test" (which I was one of) and then poceeded to talk up the economic prowess of Krejza and putting aside his 'list' said we can't win the Ashes back with a guy like Hauritz in the side when a) he bowled well in the most recent Ashes series and b) England managed to win the series despite carrying a guy called Graeme Swann.

SWANN is the highest ranked spinner in World Cricket.
Wisden refuses to rate HAURITZ
Krezja took wickets. Isnt that the aim? I said he was dropped for his economy.
You can have your opininon thats fine
Now Ill have mine. Hauritz is a Dudd

[Jim05]

Hauritz= Joker. Cmon they could pull an Indian kid off the street who could bowl better. I thought the aim was to take wickets anyone can play a containing role. Id much rather see a bowler take 3/150 than 0/100. The worrying thing is he just doesnt create chances. I would have thought in nearly 40 overs he could at least have a couple of close calls. Give smith a go he cant be any worse

[Rik E Boy]

Signature anyone ?

Hauritz is improving all the time. I'd hardly put Hauritz in the 'overrated' category. He is earning his stripes. Most perceptive Cricket watchers understand we aren't looking at Warnie here. People are starting to rate Hauritz because he has shown improvement, therefore he is not overrated. How do we know he has improved? Well you said so yourself, he has just taken his first 5 for.

REB

Most perceptive Cricket watchers now understand that Hauritz is shit.

From the soon to be published Nathan Hauritz Indian Tour diary 'Straight Lines'.

October 11, Second test third day.

**** of a day. I've been rooming with Pup on tour so I didn't get to comb my hair as Clarkey was hogging the mirror again. If only he spent that much time in the nets. We go to have our breakfast and Northey is sitting there with a shiteating grin. I wish I had a Rupee for everytime he said 'Bring on the Ashes'.

We get to the ground and I'm not off to a good start when I drop the sunscreen that Punter has thrown to me. I'm starting to worry he might stop throwing the ball to me as well. It's ******* hot and the humidity is sitting at 150% and every bastard is watching the Commo games instead of watching us bowl out the Indians.

My fielding has been a little bit down today. But how am I supposed to take wickets if I get a run out? Run outs won't ensure my selection. That 5hit could cost me a five four.

Bowling. Again. Haven't turned one all day. When will that little bastard retire? He's scored about 150 centuries now wish he would just piss off. At least I'm up against the best here and not being dominated by a Boycott clone in his first test match...oh hang on, Vijay's just brought up his ton his well.

Good old Johnno! Finally we get a wicket. Perhaps I can do my myxomistoisis act and clean up a few bunny wickets at the end, that's if Johnno and Hilf can get the batsmen out.

We stagger off the field at the end of the day's play and retreat to the confines of the pavilion. I'm going to get good old Bluey out and smash Smiffy's knee...I can do something about those other slows when we get back home starting with Casson when we get back home.

Hate this friggin place!

Signing of for now.

Horrie.

When discssussing the meritation of players playing for AU V IN over there this is what I do:
I almost totally disregard the form of players
So whether the player performs or fails is almost insignificant

Ponder this
If we selected teams on Indian soil performances the last decade or 2
WARNE would be an ordinary bowler and on the verge of being axed at times
PONTING would almost be dropped
There are also other unusual form lines, including HUSSEY who struggled for runs until the last Indian tour

I suggest if any of the current crop of players do fail disMALly they must be exonerated when the tour finishes

This is possibly the weakest AU team to play in India,and should not be expected to excel
Even the greatest teams to go there have had thier pants pulled down in the past

These would be the same cricketers that performed so well against Pakistan in England ?
No excuses Mal.
Generally, you bat when you win the toss in India and you don't lose the test match.

Smithy
Test matches in India are held in low esteem
They dont even bother including them in the Commonwealth Games !

[mal]

The race to 200 is on. Tendulkar v Hauritz. The little master might just pip him.
Ps what is most runs any bowler gone for? Hauritz could get 250+ at this rate

I hope that's tongue in cheek Mal.

[Jim05]

Only trouble with a Hauritz diary is that he would have to write it on a large sheet of paper as he would be unable to turn the pages!!!!

[Jim05]

Just popped a lazy greenback on India win. If they get 150+ up and we have to survive a day 5 pitch lookout.

I feel the same way.
India's bowlers seem to get more out of the wicket and their batsmen are not as risky.
How many variations of the arm ball does Hauritz have?

[Media Park]

Hauritz could get 250+ at this rate

So could Sachin.
