Dirk Nannes has been in headlines ever, since inception of IPL, where he rode, to overnight fame for making Glenn Mc Grath to warm the bench and also confuted critics by staging some fiery and effective spells, thereby making a solid claim, for a berth, in his T 20 squad for Australia. Even his Delhi Daredevils captain Virender Shewag termed him, as one of the few very fastest bolwers, he has ever faced, which is certainly speaks volume, about his agilities with ball. But Victorian fast bowler, who was not listed, in the earlier announced squad, of probable’s did not make, to Australian squad for t20 world cup, which has come under a spotlight, given his fiery spells, to annihilate the batsmen, in both initial and death stage of the innings. It did not perturb Dirk Nannes, an iota, as you can still witness this fast bowler, in T 20 world cup 2009, but in a different Orange jersey representing Holland, thanks largely, to his Dutch parents and origin. Dirk Nannes in an interview said, that he was not shunned, by the fact that he did not feature in Australian squad, even though he would have liked, to represent Australia jersey, in world cup, but still he would give his best for Dutch, where a place in playing XI is cocksure. The Victorian fast bowler, who would be turned thirty three by next month and his age and fitness doubts have also been the principal factors, for selectors to prompt such a decision. Australian selector Andrew Hildstich told the press, that he was not certainly bothered, by the Dirk Nannes decision to move to European borders, but also did not rule out the fact that Victorian fast bowler did mount a strong case, for getting into squad of world cup, but finally could not make it, owing to factors like balance and flexibility of team. Return of injured Brett Lee and Peter Siddons hasn’t helped the case of Dirk Nannes either, as he has, to forge ahead with his agonizing wait, to don the Australian jersey, but as a spectator one must be happy, to see him back again, where he would be playing, for Netherlands, in the opening match against England. World cricket certainly needs characters like Dirk Nannes, who is also a saxophone player, with a good mastery over Japanese to light up the stage in England.
