Dirty DIrk's understudy

The Stanford grab for cash is almost upon us.

And Middlesex have lost their 2020 superstar Dirty Dirk Nannes.

You can’t replace him, but you can sign Killer Kolpak extraordinaire Neil Carter.

He can open up with bat or ball, and for 2020 he is like a wet dream.

But he is not Dirty Dirk, you can’t blame him, few people are.

Neil Carter might have a good game, but he doesn’t have the intangibles that only the Dirty Dirkster has.

Here is a list of the 5ish things that Neil should look into.

5. Grow a beard.

4. Fall down after the odd fiery delivery .

3. Learn Japanese or the saxophone so he can teach his team mates to swear or play a Charlie bird parker tune when they are down.

2. Drop catches with such force that the full ends up 30 yards away from him.

1. Win Middlesex the most important game of their life with a breathtaking bit of fielding that no one can believe you did.

0. Be a wild beast man.

The biggest question is how can a South African properly replace a Victorian.www.cricketwithballs.com... Aussie Haiku straight to your box
