David Lloyd describing Hauritz bowling. “he has got a pretty action but he cannot buy wickets”. Very apt. The action is classical but the bowling just so very predictable.
Elementary question – Why is he in this squad?
Rhetorical question – Is this chump the best the Aussie selectors could find to replace Warne?

Outstanding analogy Jrod. One of your best posts.

Heard either Willis or Lloyd (the Statler & Waldorf of cricket commentary) talking about the Lions playing Hauritz.
They suggested it was a England tactical ploy to constantly attack Hauritz.

That’s pretty stupid.

The smart move would have been to play Haurie like he was bowling a combination of hand grenades, spitting cobras and used needles from a Kings Cross back alley.

That would get him selected, then they could make hay from his nude rubbish at Cardiff.

Why oh why…

There’s a guy called Bryce sitting in Melbourne watching all this. yes, the yarpies moosed him, but he’s got to be a better bet than hauritz.

Surely they can send McGain over as ‘back up’ for Watson?

They’ll play Stuart Clark instead and use him as a containing bowler backed up by Kattich and Clarke

Wonderfully true analogy, and in the same light Montybot is a plastic bag. Most would laugh at you carrying water in the bag, but you don’t see such a big problem. You take a quick check to see if there are any holes in the bag before you move the water, you see none, you think everything will be fine. Some passers by are sniggering, but there are no holes, do it. The first run is fine, you manage to carry a huge load of water and douse the dog’s tail. Second load the bag starts to leak piss-heavy through one of the corners. By the time you’ve reacjed the burning dog, its ears have melted onto its head and the smell of burning hair is too overpowering. The third trip you abandon the bag, get Adil in, at least he can get some experience.

You didn’t realise that Mushty had poked several holes through the Tesco logo beforehand though, did you Mr Giles?
