Interview with Nathan Hauritz (Australian Bowler)

Nathan Hauritz surprised himself with his season in 200809 as he leapfrogged a host of fringe spinners to finish the season as the only specialist slow bowler with a Cricket Australia contract. It was a stunning turnaround for an offie who was cut loose following his first Test in 2004. Having watched Beau Casson Jason Krejza Cameron White and Bryce McGain take preference following Stuart MacGill's retirement last year Hauritz was picked for the second Test against New Zealand in Adelaide despite not playing for New South Wales the previous week. In three matches at home he took nine wickets and appeared in his first ODI for six years but was kept in the dressing room for the Tests in South Africa.
