Considering Australia play 4-5 seamers he would make a good 12th man, got plenty of experience.Heal ftw.
Should be in the Australian ODI and 20/20 sides stat.

Now he has 6 wickets in the first innings and 4 in the second with 3 wickets still to get..
Very good to see for Cullen, terrible performance by QLD.

Hauritz Watch:
2/60 off 23 (against two of the better domestic players of spin- Hodge and Hussey).
I'll put this out there...he is Australia's best spinner.
Anyone who has watched him in the TV Ford Ranger Cup games would have noted the massive strides he's made. His accuracy and flight and top shelf.

My calls earlier that he's not as bad as everyone believes and would be a decent punt looking like genius now, itbt.

The obsession with Hauritz on this forum is nearly as dire as he is. I don't mind him getting a game for NSW ocassionally but as much as he's probably Australia's best one day bowler, he's nowhere close in proper cricket.
Nnanden was spot on before - he's good at not getting hit. He bowls a good line and length at a flat trajectory and if you do that enough times you'll occasionally take 2/60 off 30 as he's done a couple of times this season. The way he releases the ball so much out of the side of his hand means he's not going to get any real drop on the ball though and the lack of a complete pivot means he won't drift it that much either, so any time he actually tries to flight it up the length is going to be ridiculously easy to read - basically he's going to get hammered for no return unless he bowls darts.
He's decent in one day cricket because they have to hit said darts, but unless the batsmen get bored he's not going to take First Class wickets. Krejza's career state figures might not be much better but he certainly has a lot more going for him. I'd certainly take McGain, Heal, Casson and Cullen over him as well and I even think Marcus North has more promise as an off spinner - if he took it seriously anyway.

Well, considering your obsessional hatred for Symonds and his success, I'll take the above to mean Hauritz will bag a Test Pfeiffer within the next year.

To be fair, I don't think I've mentioned his ridiculously bad showings for Queensland this season at all. The old Prince EWS would be in here every day carrying on about how he's finally showing his true colours.

Not only that, his batting has been sensational. Was saying to Stedders yesterday that the shots he can play off-balance are simply amazing, though there is an argument to suggest that it's a dangerous sort of game to flirt with I suppose. Absolutely majestic, I love watching him. Having said that, I'd be half worried if he played for Australia seeing as WA would be without him.
