It was bound to happen.
You need to be a cold blooded animal to not fall in love with Dirty Dirk Nannes.
The man is all raucous masculinity, a puffing, screaming, bowling beast who gives his all with out really knowing what the outcome will be.
What’s not to love?
He may have started slowly in the IPL, but once the big fella got warmed up his first 5 wickets were Kallis, Gilchrist, Gibbs, Oram and Dhoni.
How about hanging those heads up on the wall.
Sehwag has said this about his hirsute behemoth,
“He is the fastest bowler I have played against.”
Our god is so awestruck he doesn’t even realise he hasn’t played against Dirk yet.
The IPL commentators started off not seeming to know anything about him other than he was fast.
Blewett was quick to bag any wide ball or flaw, others said he was a failed experiment, but now they are lining up to get on their knees in front of him.
Nicholas can’t stop mentioning how Dirk bowls quicker than the speed gun, or that he is good enough to play for Australia in any form of cricket.
The others keep saying he must be close to Australian selection, something that the 30 man twenty20 squad seems to argue with.
Every day there seems to be more and more about him in the Indian press, even if it all appears to be roughly the same article edited a different way.
Dirk is lovin’ the media attention, this is what he has had to say.
“I’d fall asleep on the weekend on the couch in the afternoon watching Curtly Ambrose steaming in, Malcolm Marshall and Joel Garner, all those guys, yeah, I looked up to the West Indies pace attack.”
“I never had any real aspirations to play international cricket, I just kind of fell into it. I always played in the backyard with my brother, but I was in the thirds at school and in the thirds at my club side,”
“I will tell me grandchildren that I was responsible for keeping out the greatest fast bowler of all times of a playing XI”
Love live Dirty Dirk.
I was just wondering why JRod is not writing anything about the Beast.
One can literally see the batsmen getting the shivers as he runs up to bowl.
After the endorsement by God, if he is not picked for international duty then the effigies of the Oz selectors should be given some heat treatment.
One of the best Dutch players I’v ever seen
That’s right Pete, although he may have to play second fiddle to the Dutch Demon Edgar Schiferli.
Dirk Nannes is awesome. Thank God Oz selectors and Ricky Ponting are stupid enough to keep him out of the national team. Hope he plays for Netherlands and screws a few big teams on the way.
The combination of the beast and superstar Essex all-rounder Ryan Ten Doeschate could really cause some problems at the world cup. I for one welcome our new schmoke and a pancake overlords
It’s not spelled “Netherlands”..it’s N-E-A-N-D-E-R-T-H-A-L
he’s been quite a disappointment actually !
Here’s hoping he takes the opportunity to humiliate England in the World T20 by bowling them out for 40 on a Lord’s swinger….
We can then credit the IPL for having produced something genuinely good for world cricket.
on the ABC show “offsiders” they were cracking jokes about powder puff doug bollinger and gushing about dirty dirk. it was also mentioned that he was the best T20 bowler in australia and everyone agreed with God’s observation.
Glad to know that Aussie selectors are as much “a bunch of jokers”* as the Indian ones (*copyright: Mohinder Amarnath). By the way, Netherlands have qualified for ODI’s hav’nt they?
I think Marvan Atapattu describing the Sri Lankan selectors as ‘Muppets’ slightly pips Mohinder.
Go Dirk Diggler!
When jrod about dirk nannes before i used to think he was making fun of someone’s names. It sounded like nanny.
He is really fast with his actions. He has tennis ball bounce that get sehwag out every time. No wonder sehwag enamored with dirk nanne.
That said he is still bowling 4 balls. He is fast and need to outsmart batsman.
At present dirk nanne is brute force like akthar.
Still better than most aussie bowlers.
I hope he plays against Aussies and brake clarke’s nose, so i can own laura bingham. Hahaha.
