The Rocky Hauritz Show → St. Eutychus

Posted by: Nathan Campbell | Thursday, 9 July 2009, 11:36 | Category : Sport

I love cricket. And I love the Ashes. I was surprised that it started so early last night, I thought it would all begin an hour later and I’d have to go to bed before lunch. But I managed to see a little bit of Hauritz bowling and couldn’t have been less impressed.

This article would be defamation if truth wasn’t a defence:

“And that is why when Nathan Hauritz bowls his right-arm spinners Australia is effectively one man down. Hauritz may as well pull a hamstring and sit the match out in the sheds. Such is the modern disregard for balls that spin into a right-hand batman, that only when pitches spit and scream can Hauritz rise above mediocrity.”

“Such is the modern disregard for balls that spin into a right-hand batman…?

Yet Murali & Harbajan seem to do ok…

The article makes that point — I should have included that. Basically they’re ok because they have the Doosra and a bit of unpredictability.

About St. Eutychus

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.
