Harsh, besides his last year in Victoria and his 1st in back on WA (coincidentally the time his dad was very ill) he has consistently averaged over 40 with the bat.
his bowling is ok, but he is clearly a batting all-rounder.
Geevesy does it again today. Courtesy of the Mockery..

"Of course I am being cheeky here. Nothing of the sort is going on. Our BBL and international stars make so much money that they don't need to fix games. It's why when I played for the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL I truly expected to be approached by a bookie for info or to attempt a fix.
I was the lowest paid player in that tournament. Offer that player 200K to bowl a no ball and he's going to consider it more than the fat cat who just signed on for US1.8 million.
Although if you watched the game where I bowled four overs for 0-54, it would have been fair for you think that I was profiting financially from that performance via corruption.
In fact, I'd rather that you think that than know that I was literally shaking when bowling to Sanath Jayasuriya and Sachin Tendulkar on the back of two hours's sleep, no training for a month and vodka seeping from the pores of my brow and into my mouth as I ran in to bowl. It should have been me licking my lips and not Sanath and Sachin.
Yep, like the the Stars I was just sh!t"

The way Sri Lanka are playing against South Africa *in* South Africa ... sheesh ... maybe our series flogging of them was a bit more meritorious than the masses originally thought.
Well that is the most extraordinary series result I have ever seen.
I wonder what odds you could have got on Sri Lanka winning that 2-0.
