I've found Hutchison to be the Emile Heskey of cricket..... Half the time he cant hit a cows **** with a banjo, yet by 2006 i've capped him over 30 times (and to my shame signed him up for my Lancashire side).... One point his bowling average was out at 39 for tests, then i took him to the caribbean... where he destroyed the windies (best of 8/107 if i recall rightly), brought his average down to about 31/32.... then he went back to being bobbins at test level for the next series
County he's been consistantly good, which is why he keeps on getting second chances both him and Johnathon Lewis really should've been scrapped by now (as i so cruely seem to have done to Kevin Dean and Richard Johnson, and Ricardo Anderson.... and Melvyn Betts, and probably many many more), but Tremletts lost form, Ali and Bulbeck seem to be only ODI players for me, so sometimes i have no choice...... I usually play with Hoggard, Ormond and Smethurst (if he's not doing his Hutchison impression)
Infact, Hutchisons record is this
32 Tests: 13.57 Batting Average (not too shabby really), 130 wickets @ 35.13 each... 4 5wi's 2 10wm
He seems to get his share of wickets (ave over 4 a match), his economy aint too bad either, but his strike rate is just nads....
