One of reason why Hauritz left originally was that when he played FC cricket he barely got bowl. Personally reckon Queensland are pretty poor at giving spinner a decent bowl in the games. They pick them regularly in the side, but most of the time they barely bowl an over.
Had a numpty offie who snagged an ODI or two too, didn't they? Was thought to 'jerk' a little?
Your thinking Geoff Foley I'd say. Couple of Aussie A games from memory but that was about it. Classic Mercantile Mutual Cup all rounder - straight breaks with the ball and left handed nudger with the bat.
LOL. i'll throw in Andrew Wrigglesworth, Scott Prestwidge, Shawn Bradstreet....
I can't even think of that many examples, but if asked me to describe what a Mercantile Mutual Cup all rounder was I'd have probably said something very similar.
Kade Harvey, Scott Thompson, Jason Bakker, half the Canberra Comets team... Those were the glory days!
Pretty sure it was his only FC hundred yeah? Domestic stalwart, possibly picked for his fielding as much as anything.
Just realised how odd this sounds. I'm such a weird bloke.
Haha yep, Kremerskothen, Adam Polkinghorne, Andrew Dykes... Tas blessed with some great bits and pieces all rounders at the time.
They eventually got phased out for Butterworth, who the Tasmanian faithful at the time seemed to think was their next Test batting hope, bowling a few overs here or there in one day cricket. He batted #3 early on. Funny how things work out sometimes.
