The Krejza Facts

For some reason that escapes all but the insane, the Australian selectors dropped Jason Krejza and have refused to pick him since. Why? Apparently it’s because he needs to work on his ‘defensive pressure.’ Great. So he can become a ‘friend of the paceman’ like Nathan Hauritz. A stop gap to frustrate the batsmen. But how about this selectors, how about a spinner, that is super hard to score off AND takes wickets? Let me introduce you to Jason Krejza… and his figures in all forms of the game since he was dropped from the Australian team. They make very interesting reading. Something you cannot deny is that Jason Krejza does NOT leak runs. Pick Jason Krejza.
