PROFILE OF A AUSSIE PLAYER How to spin a Nathan Hauritz (43) Born: 18/10/1981 cricket ball (Off State: NSW Right-hand bat spin) Right-arm off-spinner Test cap number: 390 One-day cap number: 147 Nathan Hauritz will be looking to break back into the Test team once more this season after being left out for the 2010-11 Vodafone Ashes Series. Upon returning to NSW, Hauritz looked to turn his form around, taking a five-wicket haul in Perth and scoring two first-class hundreds. Unfortunately, Hauritz could not help the RTA SpeedBlitz Blues secure the Weet-Bix Sheffield Shield title, falling to Tasmania in the final. Hauritz will be looking to regain his spot in all forms of cricket this season, providing experi- ence and options to new captain Michael Clarke.
