Hauritz isn't even in the Pura cup squad so he won't be able to prove anything right now.

Sooner or later the selectors will realise the mistake they are making by not playing him!

More like >> he has done way better than Hauritz has done.

Patel has struggled, going at 6 an over, but that's because he has played the role of a specialist death bowler. He was actually turning it square at times last night/this morning.

No the mistake was realised and dropping him fixed it.....

It will be a tradgedy if he doesn't play test cricket again. He will prove the doubters wrong!

The tragedy will be if he is allowed to play Test cricket again...... He may get back into the OD side but he can't even make Pura Cup.....

I think he really neeeds to switch states, to a state where the wickets are not as flat. Possibly NSW, or SA. Most people are aware if you sign for NSW, you ALMOST DEFINATELY get a baggy green as well!

I watched him in the 20/20 international v SA. I was highly impressed. Quick at times straight at the base of off, then a slow change of pace tempting a batsman into a cover drive only for it to turn square and smash into the stumps.

Don't know if that was a once off spell or not, but if thats typical Patel bowling he'll be a useful ODI bowler.

NSW are packed with spinners that all can bat very well too. SA have Cullen. Best bet go to Tassie, at least over there he would get a starting spot.

Come on, he just needs time to prove himself. When he does you will all see why I have so much faith in him!:)

He may decide to go to England. He would rip it in the county arena and then get called into the england side. Just imagine if it was Hauritz who ripped Australia in a few years and helps england retain the ashes. His grandmother is english I am pretty sure!:)

Yes, and the Canberra Raiders will win the premiership next year...

Hey everyone thought the Tigers would get the spoon! Anything is possible and I am not a Raiders supporter!

I did a Google image search on Hauritz, and this is the first thing that came up...

This was from the Cricket 2002 game. Looks like the end result of a very poorly timed hook shot.

Patel is decent enough... Wiseman too... so's Bruce Martin (although being a left armer, Vettori will keep him out as everyone loves Dan)... Wouldn't trade any of them for Hauritz, Cullen, or any other Australian finger spinner
