Performance of the Week

A little late I know but this performance of the week is maybe one of the best I've seen and is up there with my performance of the year. In this weeks forth test between India and Australia which India came away with the win to seal the 2-0 series win there was a shining light for Australia which many have overlooked.

Jason Krejza took twelve wickets in his debut match as India toiled but eventually came out as winners. Krejza's performance will remind many, especially Englishman that Australia are no spent force. People have talked about how they have lost some zip in the last few years after loosing some of their experienced players. Krejza looks like a direct replacement for Shane Warne in this respect, he has the passion and most importantly the talent to bring back the good days for the Aussies.

Krejza took the important wickets of Sehwag and Dravid on the first day before cleaning up the tail to pick up eight wickets in the first innings. He added just four to his tally in the second innings as he ended Veranda Sehwag's international career with a caught and bowled attempt.

Getting twelve wickets in any match is a very good effort, on your debut is even better, he has record the forth best ever figures for an Australian on his debut and it's sure to be held for some time.

His emergence is sure to kick some spirit into the side as they have come off it with a crushing defeat, their first since the 2005 ashes series.

I'm sure we'll see much more of him in the coming years and sure to see him in the Ashes series next year, and knowing how the last high class Australian spinner did against the English, this lad might not be bad.
