Hauritz to Hell

I don’t know how it happened.

I don’t know why it happened.

And I don’t care.

Just fucken fix it.

Get Hauritz out of Radelaide.

He can only do harm.

Under no circumstances can he be Australia’s spinner.

Not on my watch.

Dan Cullen, Aaron Heal, Jon Holland, or Xavier Doherty I would except.

Not Nathan.

It is a pointless exercise.

At least the others show potential.

Nathan is gone, finished, he doesn’t even get wickets at the SCG anymore.

He was stamped, never again, years ago, that stamp only comes off with brilliant shield performances.

Not mediocre drivel.

6 wickets at 50 in 3 matches does not a test match earn.

Sorry, I want Yoda there, but this is important.

This isn’t India, so Australian spinners don’t get a free tests here.

Hauritz is just not up to it.

He got out bowled by Michael Clarke in his only test.

His bowling average makes Krejza look like a superstar.

He averages less than 2 wickets a game over 40 first class games.

The majority of those were probably at the SCG, the spiniest pitch in Straya.

Not once has he got a 5 for.

And to top that off he is only 27.

Ok that has nothing to do with it.

But, he has had 7 years to make a mark, and nothing.

So many other spinners have made a mark since him.

Cullen’s record isn’t that much better, he averages only 8 runs less, but he has taken four 5 wicket hauls in 5 class cricket from only 4 more matches.

He is bowling as averagely as Hauritz in shield cricket this year, and this is his home pitch.

Or we could just not pick a spinner, since the only one performing in Australia is Marcus North.
