Hasn't Gayle learned?

Now we all know Hauritz isn't a very threatening bowler, but whats the bet that he will pick up Chris Gayle now? Bollinger did it. Theres not much to be gained from trash talking another opposition player IMO.

Is he that wrong? Hauritz is a defensive offie, no dramas there. Didn't Paul Harris get a 5 for as a defensive spinner.

True, but whats the point of giving Hauritz extra motivation to bowl well? And if Hauritz picks up Gayle, Gayle will look stupid.

 

[wavefall21]

Nothing wrong with what Gayle said imo, he's spot on the money, why would any1 be scared of facing hauritz, hardly threatening, he's all about economy rate imo

 

[King Elvis]

No problems with that - as long as he backs it up with sensible, patient and determined batting, like he did in Adelaide.

If he goes out there and throws his wicket away after getting a run a ball thirty again, then no one will give a shit what he said.

 

[Minotaur]

For someone who supposedly doesn't care much about the future of test cricket, Gayle is doing a far better job than anyone or anything else in promoting this series.

unless your pigeon
worked a treat everytime

should be a good contest. if he hits straight and hard down the ground he will win everytime tbh

 

[Bloods boy from the Bush]

Didnt De Villiers say something similar about Kreja this time last year and look what happened there
Look out Haury the big Jamacian is in form.

 

[likka]

Don't think that was meant to be a sledge, he was just answering a question honestly.

 

[Power21]

Gayle knows exactly what he is doing, and like someone said, is doing a better job at promoting this series than anyone.

When will people realise Australia doesn't have a spinner worthy of playing test match cricket for Australia.

 

[r dub 19]

Massive bump

 

[Paddy_Mac]

Shut down!

 

[Rohan25]

He has sure given WA fans something to look forward to.

Player of the series?

Horrorwitz is the worst bowler I have ever seen, I've seen school grade kids get more turn on those green plastic grass mats. He is ****ing woeful, he is just a slow bowler.

Agree, its embarassing that a player spinner who cannot spin the ball make the Aus test squad

Hauritz is a complete plodder. Can't believe how far we've fallen, when rubbish like Hauritz is guaranteed games.

Great to see the big man put him back in his place today.

hauritz = harris, the foil.

our pace attack isn't threatening enough atm so hauritz has to be relied upon as a wicket taker which he is not.

he's a world class odi bowler imo and a frontfoot tail-end batsman with commendable ability to play proper cricket shots.

Agree. Don't mind him in ODI, seems to be doing a decent enough job. But i won't bag him for his efforts in test cricket....It isn't his fault that he keeps getting selected! National selectors have a lot to answer for.

 

[goalpie]

Looks like Gayle has.

Its up up and away for Hauritz.

 

[Lazarus]

I like Hauritz.

Harris as in Paul Harris of South Africa? If that's so, then i have to tell you that Harris is no.7 in the test bowling ranking. He is becoming a world class bowler and he has just picked up another 5 for after the 6 for in the 3rd test against Australia in 2009.

 

[didak04]

There's nothing at all wrong with Hauritz as a bowler, he is comfortably the best spinner in the country at present.

What are you guys on about.

Gayle did not hit any 4s at all of auritz in his 102
