cricket with balls

Luke Pomersbach (pronounced Pom-ers-bash, or pommy bash) is a western warrior with a penchant for late night alcoholic fuelled shenanigans.

My kind of cricketer.

According to Rodney Hogg, he is an out and out slogger.

I prefer to think he bats like Hank Chinaski would in heaven.

Luke can play.

Often people who see him in 2020 mode get the feeling he is a slogger.

This is not the truth, he is a big hitter, but he does have a technique, it’s commercially effective, and industrially designed, but it’s a technique.

In 2020, he does get a bit loud and punchy, but in real cricket, he plays some of the best drives you will ever see, and off his pads he is poisonous.

Until his sanctioned early year drunken break, he was leading the Australian first class run tally, and he didn’t do it with slogs.

His first class average is a lazy 52 from his 12 games, but in that time he has already filled in for Australia and has impressed Tom Moody enough to get a dance in Bollywood cricket.

He hits the ball hard, real hard, and occasionally, the he hits the bottle just as hard, but that doesn’t mean he can’t bat.

At first look he looks a little larger than the modern cricket athlete, to me that’s just another reason to like him.

So far for the Punjab’s he has had limited opportunities, but he is still making his mark.

I think he could be the next Darren Lehmann, so that means he will remain a larrikin who doesn’t get picked while he swans around the world kicking first class attacks around and having a great time.
