geez, he's a bit stiff isn't he? i woulda thought that his figures this season might have kept him in the team.

Hauritz is an average cricketer now.
I still maintain that he had the talent, but one day cricket has screwed him big time. He used to float the ball a bit and get a bit of turn on it but then he become pigeon holed as a one day off spinner who just darts the ball in and concedes little to nothing from the bowler.
Someone has to teach him 3/70 from 25 overs, is better than 1/45 from 25 overs.

easily the worst bowler i've seen that has been picked for australia in the last decade.

yes because as i've said 1 million times, theres was a case to pick lee at the time, and there still is one to pick him in ODIs. but theres no way they can pick him ahead of kaspa in either form of the game. hauritz didnt have a case of being picked for zimbabwe, let alone australia.

I don't think there's a place for a specialized offie in this Australian side. They just don't have a very aggressive mindset, as a rule.
How the mighy have fallen, though - Test level to club level in 6 months!

Shaun Young? Fair enough he was an allrounder, but when he was picked for Australia it was as a bowler.tooextracool said:

Geez some of you guys are unbelieveable. We're talking about a real person here. He hasn't miraculously 'lost' his talent, just lost his way a bit. He's a decent offie and I personally think his lack of success is more a reflection of the captaincy of Wade Seccombe than any perceived lack of ability. Certainly he has been darting the ball a fair bit of late but I would say that's just a chronic lack of confidence which Queensland have done nothing to ameliorate (other than dropping him). It's typical of their treatment of spinners in their state.
He'll be back. You'll see.

At the time that he was selected to go to India he was the best offspinner in the country and the selectors wanted some variety. He has had a bad season in 4 day games but his one day form has been pretty good. He has always been a decent one day bowler.
I have always said that if he wants become a test class bowler then he needs to leave Queensland. He may have left his move too late though as Dan Cullen has come along well at SA and Doherty is showing signs of improvement at Tasmania. The Gabba is not a good pitch for finger spinners so it's to be predicted that he will struggle there.
Just to correct Top Cat in his post. Wade Seccombe has not captained Qld this season. Jimmy Maher has had the job. I will agree though that he has not had the best of years as skipper.
Hauritz may come back. I hope he does but unless he gets a bag in club cricket then Simpson will overtake him. Simpson could also average 96 with the ball and can bat very well.

NSW have Krejza who is a better bowler then Hauritz and can't make the NSW side. If he was going to move states then his best option will be to Victoria. White is becoming more of batsmen then a spinner, so their is a spot for a spinner over there, or they could play two spinners as they have Harvey and Moss. WA is another option but the pitches are worse for spin bowling then OLD.Top_Cat said:
But in saying all this i don't rate Simpson as a bowler and i doubt he will be able to keep his spot for OLD as bowler, maybe an all rounder, but then OLD only have three bowlers until Watson, Hopes or Symonds are back.

How about he never had much talent ITFP, and just wasn't hitherto being exposed quite as badly as he has been this season?Top_Cat said:
That's a MOO if ever there was one!
What d'you expect of someone that has M Burns as his avatar?
Of course you could say exactly the same about my good self - except the M Burns bit.
