Should we be patient with Michael Beer?

Spinners since Warne retired

Really isn't all that terrible.

 

[vic_orthdox]

One thing to remember is that in the year before he got his Test debut, Doherty had performed very well in the Shield, and had been the best OD spinner in the country for a while. With the pushing from Punter (most probably), selectors possibly felt that they finally had a spinner knocking the door down, when really it just turned out to be a stray Jehovah's Witness.

ABC Sport - Hauritz in dark as Test tour looms

Relevant.

Asked where he stood in the spinner pecking order, Hauritz said: "To be honest, I don't know.

"(But) I don't read too much into it. I am just focusing on getting my shoulder right.

"Hopefully, I will be available for selection for Sri Lanka and, if I am not right for that, I will look to the New South Wales season."

Geez, it's incredible how much Hauritz seems to be persona non grata with the Aussie set-up right now. He's been in the press a few times complaining about lack of communication, even his Dad has been quoted. He's been shunned, it would seem.

The blame falls squarely on GChappell. Well, being a bit facetious but ignoring the solid, unglamorous type is his MO.

 

[Cevno]

So Greg Chappel is up to his usual course of functioning it seems.

Ruining one national team at a time.

 

[Top_Cat]

Pfft, you talk as if India was the first. Has been poison for just about every team he's ever been associated with as a player, captain or coach.

 

[Xuhaib]

seems like G Chappel and Pakistan can be a match made in heaven.

Nothing for him to do there. They all seem to hate each other already and they bring in teenagers without all the angst associated with it elsewhere.

Might unite Pakistan in distaste for Chappell.

EDIT: could do the improbable and create long term peace and harmony between India and Pakistan, as they battle their common enemy.

Haha, brilliant.

Kreja and hauritz for me.
Hauritz was ridiculously dropped for poor performance in a two test series,that too against india in india and add to that poor captaincy from ponting.
Kreja was mysteriously discontinued after performing well against us,he sometimes did look threatening.

I would stick to these 2 for longer periods,they won't be warne but will evolve into good containment bowlers who can also chip away a couple of wickets every innings.

Krezja won't be a containing bowler.

 

[Debris]

The idea of picking a spinner just to be containing is un-Australian and should be left to the English.

First of all Hauritz is already a containment bowler (and not a very good one) and Krezja will never be one, he has had plenty of time to develop his game.

Krezja won't be a containing bowler.

Should have refreshed before making that post, lol.

 

[Austerlitz]

Krezja won't be a containing bowler.

But maybe a wicket taking one?

Not unless he plays on dustbowls as I said because he builds no pressure. He can't bowl to a plan effectively and makes it way too difficult for captains to setgood aggressive fields for him. Batsman can just see off the good ones and cash in on the bad ones.

Hauritz is a much better spinner. Keeps it tight (except against Sachin Tendulkar, I guess), bowls a beautiful line to RHs (better than Swann, I might add) and gets plenty of work on the ball anyway.

Krezja is another one they've handled weirdly, takes 12 wickets on debut, gets dropped for the NZ series for Hauritz, comes back for a Test against South Africa then gets dropped again.

That was injuries though. What happened was he played in India, got injured, played in Perth (bowled like drain), got injured, got replaced by Hauritz who then made way for McDonald who then made way for Hauritz again who then did pretty well in the 3 Ashes tests he played.

Makes more sense, thought Krezja had just randomly been binned because Australia were refusing to select the same spinner for 2 series in a row.
