Nathan Hauritz, in the only country that would have him.

Ages ago Mims did a piece on Tiny Tim Ambrose, and whether he was the worst keeper in world cricket.

She argued that no other country in world cricket would have picked him.

Well with Bryce coming back, let us look at Natahan Hauritz in the same context.

Bangladesh has Shakib Al Hasan, and he is so much better than Nathan, that if Nathan walks past him Shakib should spit on him. Yet another award for Shakib, although being better than Hauritz is hardly going to make him that happy.

England has Monty, Swann, Colvin and now Rashid. All are better than Hauritz, even Monty, who must be happy there is a far more boring spinner in world cricket than him now. Rashid is 20, and an English leg spinner, yet still better than Hauritz, what a world we live in,

India has Bhajji, Mishra, and Murali Kartik. Plus like a million others, there is a chance that India has 567 better spinners than Hauritz. I think the Indian blind women’s team probably has a few that would go ahead of him.

New Zealand has Vettori and Patel. Both vastly superior to Hauritz, and Brendan has a brother that some Kiwis rate. Also Patel is a way better 12th man than Hauritz.

Pakistan has Saqlain Mushtaq and Danish Kaniera. Ok Saqlain is English, but Keneria may be boring, but Australia would kill for someone as good as he is right now. Mushie has no knees and struggles to get a Visa, but I’d still pick him ahead of Hauritz.

South Africa has Paul Harris and Imran Tahir (almost). I don’t rate Harris at all, still think he is way better than Hauritz, although I will admit if I had the choice of watching one or the other, I’d pick Hauritz. Tahir is a superstar.

Sri Lanka have M&M, nuff said.

West Indies have Sulimeen Benn, Amit Jaggernauth and Nikita Miller, all who show real promise, even though none of them have really taken International cricket on. This is the only team that Hauritz could squeeze into, but the way the Windies selectors pick spinners, he would be dropped for no reason, play 2020 games and test matches but not one dayers, and miss out on tours on a whim. Maybe Australia could trade Hauritz for Nash.
