Lord's corporate hospitality news: Nathan Hauritz 'has been given wickets'
11/01/2010
Cricket fans on a corporate hospitality experience at Lord's this summer for the clash between Australia and Pakistan may be able to look forward to tension between the two sides.
Nathan Hauritz, the Aussie spin bowler, has been in impressive form in the two sides' current series, which is taking place in Australia.
After the first two matches, which have taken place in Melbourne and Sydney, the off-spinner has taken two five-wicket hauls, including 5-53 in the last Test.
Despite his apparent success, Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam has remained unconvinced about Hauritz's ability, claiming that the majority of his scalps have come through poor batting rather.
"I can see if someone has bowled a really good ball and got somebody out, but we have been giving wickets by trying to get after him," he said.
The two sides will meet on neutral ground in England this summer, with the first Test scheduled for Lord's on July 13th 2010.
