Australia in New Zealand - 2 Test Series

[Rik E Boy]

Katich involved in 7 run outs this summer, none of which he was out.....

David Wildy raising the selfish argument on AA this morning

i think his career stats are he has now been in 10 run outs - all his partners - although this one was all potings fault so kat shouldnt get blamed here

LOL. Dutchy blames the Kat for global warming.

Found it funny when he was out. Simon Doull at first said there was no way it could be out, then they showed the replay of hotspot and it showed an edge and Doull quickly changed his tune. Referals don't just fix the umpires blunders it also stops biased commentary as well

And people still think he's our best option.

Let me get this straight Hauritz out bowled England's #1 spinner over there, out bowled the West Indies #1 spinner, out bowled Pakistan's spinners (in fact Hauritz was the leading wicket taker for the series) and out bowled Daniel Vettori in the 1st Test in NZ and people are still bagging him?

I'm still more concerned with our regular batting collapses than what Hauritz is serving up

Name the bloke who is the better option then.

Graeme Swann who everyone on here bagged, took 14 wickets with best bowling of 4/38 - Hauritz 10 wickets with best bowling of 3/63...............wouldn't say that was outbowling Englands spinner, and if it is, Swann is a crap bowler as voted by 99% of cricket watchers on this site.

Sulieman Benn and Hauritz both took 11 wickets with Hauritz best bowling of 3/17 (avg33) better than 5/155 (avg 37).
Benn might make the redbacks side but that's about it, and Hauritz may of marginally out bowled him on his home deck against poor opposition but hardly out bowled.

Against Pakistan, no doubt he out performed any bowler against a VERY ordinary side.

1st test Vettori 1/111 - Hauritz 3/159........Hardly out bowling him, plus a spinner bowling 14 no balls is inexcusable.

We'll agree to disagree but I strongly disagree with Hauritz being picked in the 1st place, let alone him continuing to be selected.

If I must choose a spin bowling option then I would choose Steve Smith.
Now I know it would be better for his education to take more wickets for NSW, but he is a much better fielder and batsman, already has better best bowling figures than Hauritz and they both have 1st class bowling averages in the 40's so why not pick him.
Plus he was born on June the 2nd and that date has history of producing great test cricketers.

Very good batsman
Good bowler
Good fielder

But as a slips fieldsman he is an absolute barry crocker
Seen him in a SS game v VI 2 seasons ago drop several slips catches in that game

Watto is not a slipper

The facts:

vs England

Hauritz-10wk @ 32.10 (3 Tests)
Swann-14wk @ 40.50 (5 Tests, EIGHT of those 14 wk coming in the 5th Test that Hauritz was erroneously dropped for)

vs West Indies

Hauritz-11wk @ 33
Benn-11wk @ 37.09

vs Pakistan

Hauritz-18wk @ 23.05
Kaneria-9wk @ 46
Ajmal-2wk @ 111.50

vs New Zealand (1st Test)

Hauritz-3wk @ 52.67 (63 overs, 2.5 econ)
Vettori-1wk @ 143.00 (40 overs, 3.6 econ)

Edit: As pointed out Haurtiz only played 3 Tests not 4.

Hauritz only played 3 tests!

[Gozu]

Hauritz only played 3 tests!

Oh that's right I forgot about the Test he missed due to that pretty bad dislocated finger.

Makes his numbers look even better!

Dont think he missed a game through injury.
Missed the 4th test as they went Stuart Clark, with the pitch assisting the seamers, and then they didnt have balls to change a winning side!

Absolutely, great numbers.
How could I overlook such a talent.

Guess who is smashing them again I see...

Better of picking Cameron Shite. At this point in time Shite is a better batsman than Smith, probably of equal value in the field given his incredible hands in the slips and his bowling is the same. Going forward Smith will almost certainly become a much better bowler but the Australian side is not a development squad. You pick the best eleven avalaible not the best eleven on potential.

[jackpot jim]

New Zealands inability to bat long periods of time against this Aussie attack will cost them this Test after having the upper hand. Needed to get a lead of 150 + to have a chance but now are NO chance.
Weather permitting Aust will win by 150 + runs.
