Australia players and officials - select an initial letter: Nathan Hauritz Australia
Full name Nathan Michael Hauritz
Nathan Hauritz is an offspinner who made his ODI debut for Australia at 20, but things became much harder with age. Enjoying stints as the under-19 captain of both state and country, he became a regular in Queensland's first-class and one-day teams on his way to a surprise Test tour of India ahead of Stuart MacGill in 2004. Hauritz made his debut in the fourth Test, becoming Queensland's first slow-bowling representative since Trevor Hohns in 1989, and picked up Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman after opening the bowling in the second innings. His five match wickets were a distant memory on returning home, where he struggled in first-class games and was dropped towards the end of the 2004-05 season. In the next summer he also received limited opportunities with the Bulls and left for New South Wales.
He played three Pura Cup games - including the final loss to Tasmania - in his first season with the Blues and his four dismissals cost 63.50 each. However, his one-day form was excellent and he missed only one match, leading the state's wicket tally with 14 at 24. He appeared in only one first-class game last summer, but was a fixture in the FR Cup and his seven wickets at 46.28 - and an economy rate of 4.83 - persuaded the national selectors to include him in the 30-man squad for the postponed version of the 2008 Champions Trophy.
