Does Nathan Hauritz turn the ball?

Hey, just wondering guys, does Nathan Hauritz actually turn the ball? Because he is a spinner and have NEVER seen him turn a ball (as in spin). But he's a good bowler though.
Check out these vids from Youtube and see:

YouTube - Nathan Hauritz on a hat trick, 30/12/2009.
YouTube - 2009 Ashes Test - Nathan Hauritz Wicket
YouTube - 2009 Ashes Test - Nathan Hauritz Wicket

And I thought you guys should check this out! Jason Krezja with a beauty!

Thanks on your thoughts and opinions. :)

The first video I click on (number 3) has a turning delivery. Hauritz can spin the ball. It is not his mode of taking wickets though, he will beat the majority of batsman with the flight he puts on the ball.

He has turned it here and there. So to has Doherty but neither of their turning deliveries are threatening enough.

TBH the way Hauritz will get most of his wickets is either a. beating them in flight and especially with drift, which he gets a lot of or b. with bounce, especially on the cut. He's got a lot of batsmen out cutting.

Yeah, as has been said, Hauritz does get a bit of turn - less than most frontline Test spinners though and it's not what usually gets him his wickets.

Which is probably why he is so ****.

Hauritz spins the ball all right, but its not his forte to go for massive turn, which anyways is not something a finger spinner should be thriving for in this day and age.

It's what every spinner should be thriving for in every situation. There's no doubt that, in general, Hauritz is more dangerous himself when the ball is turning a bit more.

I see hardly any turn from Haurtiz. It's just a slow ball with slight rotation. Basically, batting practice, most of the time.

This is a ridiculous thread, of course he turns the ball, he's no Harbhajan or Murali nut on occassions he turns it quite sharply in the right conditions. Spin bowling isn't always about the smount of turn anyway. Vettori hardly turns it and how many test wickets has he got ? I think people need to lay off Hauritz. in an era of Batsmen Hauritz test record is comparable to Tim May, who is considered one of the great modern finger spinners for Australia
