Cricket Update: Ashes 2010 Series- Doherty in Place of Hauritz for the test Squad.
Arch Rivals, a word that has intense meaning. Pride and integrity is incorporated when we use the word of rivalry. It becomes a matter of life and death when it comes to a competition between rivals. For http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, India has always been one such figure had
it been sports or military power. Nonetheless, when we talk of sports, precisely cricket, Australia and England are considered to be one very great arch rivals, which brings us to the main subject of Ashes Test series that is starting coming Thursday. Both
the teams are preparing hard for an all important event like this. Before anything else, the selection process for the playing squad is always the most important task for every cricket board. To review the selection of Australian squad for the tournament we
have some surprising results.
Xavier Doherty has replaced the off spinner Nathan Hauritz for the first Ashes test. Steven Smith has been another very interesting inclusion in the squad for the first Ashes competition this month. Never the less, Doherty has surprised many by his inclusion
in the side who is a left arm orthodox spinner which belongs to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tasmania-c854. From Australia’s selectors perceptive let’s hope he is a danger for the England right handed batsmen.
Doherty is ostensible to play in the game starting coming Thursday whereas the other selection (Steven Smith) will be tested for the second game to be played at Adelaide. Hussey was also amongst the selected ones after his dazzling century for the western
Australia on Friday, whereas another player under a lot of encumbrance, Marcus North was included.
There was a shortening of the squad from 17 to 13. The players that were drained from the 17 man squad included Callum Ferguson , Usman Khwaja (as both the players proved pretty ordinary for Australia A in Hobart.) Riyan Harris was also among the listed
drops as his knee issue could have proved very costly for an important event like this.
Hauritz prohibition from the squad has been the most hefty change in the Australian team he has been their primary choice amongst the spinners since 2009 Ashes. He toiled against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 as he struggled in the competition and has not been given much chance
for bowling since he got back home.
Hauritz must be feeling very unfortunate however; the chairman of the selectors for Australia Andrew Hilditch thinks that Doherty is an excellent inclusion in the side as he shall be able to trouble the major right handers in the dominant middle order of
England side. Pietersen has been uncomfortable versus the slow left arm bowlers and he is a very prominent player who could make a major difference in the tournament.
Will this inclusion be justified? Will it turn out according to the perception of the selectors or will it prove to be costly for Australia? All these questions are to be answered in due time.
