Hauritz should be applauded

[djdarren]

Got dropped and didn't have massive sook. Has gone back and played some bloody good cricket with near career best figures and now a century. A guy can't do much more than that.

Well done Haury

 

[The_Reaper]

There is no way that he is a worse bowler than Doherty.

If they aren't willing to bring in O'Keefe then bring back Hauritz so O'Keefe can play shield cricket.

 

[Kim Hagdorn]

They should'nt have dropped him unless they had someone that was actually better.

 

[djdarren]

I didn't say he should be RECALLED, I said he should be APPLAUDED for the way he has taken it onboard, knuckled down and produced some pretty good results.

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Hauritz is rubbish.... but Doherty is worse.

I'm still trying to decide whether Doherty is the worst player to pull on a baggy green. He's certainly up there with names like Bryce McGain and Sean Young.

I just noticed that my first post is very open to misinterpretation.

I meant that there is no way that Hauritz is a worse bowler than Doherty.

 

[Rookie]

Hauritz has done well - has shown a lot of resilience and is probably deserving of his spot back.



Who is going to bowl us to victory in (possibly?) Bangladesh and Sri Lanka?

We need good results in those series to ensure we stay in the top four test teams.


Krejza? Hauritz? O'Keefe?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Hauritz should be recalled, our tail would look instantly better and Hauritz is a better bowler than Doherty. Didn't Hauritz just get an 8 wicket haul at the WACA.

 

[frankrizzo]

Hauritz should never have been dropped for another spinner because quite frankly he's the best we have.

If we dropped him for a quick i could have accepted it but to drop him for a one day holding bowler in a 4 man test attack....

Didn't have a sook, did he?

I think I am (a better bowler) definitely, but my opinion doesn't really matter unfortunately when it comes to picking the side

Stating the obvious is not having a sook.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

This is the point. We all have opinions on Hauritz as a Test spinner but IMO although he hasn't set the world on fire, he had done enough to retain his place in that team. Ipso facto, Doherty hasn't done anywhere near enough to be included. If this is the style of selection being implemented by Greg Chappell, he can quit right now. Worst selection choice I can recall in 45 years of watching Test cricket.

Doherty ... a Test cricketer ... geez.

 

[King Elvis]

Give him his spot back, he's earnt in.

Him for X.

Smith for North.

http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/32430/i-am-better-than-doherty-says-hauritz

That's not having a sook

Could/Should be bring both Smith and Hauritz back into the side? Both are better bowlers and batters than X and North

Spot on. Hauritz is the best spinner in Australia. His form was a bit down but not so bad that Doherty's was seen as so much better.

The incumbent should have had first crack.

The reality is that Warne was a freak that could do things that no other cricketer has done in the past. The selectors are hell bent on getting a Warne replacement and started doing silly things like thinking," If we play a left arm orthodox, he will get KP out" rather than just going for a balanced side.

It reminds me of the attempt during the 80s to find an all rounder. Australia was probably the only team in the 80s without a genuine all rounder and they kept trying people that were not up to test standards.

 

[Reincarnation]

No he shouldn't. He is seen as an international cricketer so he should be an above average contributor at a level below.

He is a player (along with Siddle and probably North) that are going to be bracketed in the sector of 'embracing mediocrity'. He does not perform nearly enough for an international cricketer yet some on here wet themselves after a 5 wicket haul and a ton batting as a nightwatchman. The batting is irrelevant. He has batted 24 times for 2 test match 50's....that makes him a typical 8/9 batsman, nothing more nothing less. Therefore the hundred he has just scored is useless and irrelevant in pointing out.

 

[dan warna]

hows' his bowling been in the shield game?

its pretty embarrassing if you bring hauritz back to test cricket for his batting...

in a day when NSW bowlers butchered SA, hauritz went for 0/44 of 13, i didn't see any of the bowling but was it even threatening?

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

It's embarrassing bringing Doherty into the test side, based on batting or bowling. The fact that he now has a baggy green is disgusting.

In no way am I Hauritz fan, but he did bowl the Blues to victory in the game before.

And doherty bowled well a few games ago as well.

both are ordinary in the 4 day game.

This right here. It shouldn't matter that he made a ton today, it's his bowling that needs to be in form here.

Last week he took a 5fer at the WACA.
The next test is at the WACA.

Ideally we would want him to have performed better in his most recent game but at the moment he is the best we have.*

*Given that for some reason O'Keefe isn't on the radar

 

[dare]

In his two first-class matches since being omitted by national selectors for the Ashes opener at the Gabba, Hauritz has claimed career-best bowling figures and now his highest first-class score. 126 not out as night watchman!

I forgot it was a 5fer.

I'm sure he'll play in the WACA test now, like you said it'd just be nice if he went into it having bowled well in the 2nd innings of this game.
