Josh Hazlewood: the next pigeon?
By Will 2 years ago, at the end of November Add your comment below
Oh god. Australia might have found the next Glenn McGrath: Josh Hazlewood is a 17-year-old metronome who can bat.
Never mind. Given the modern way (and unlike McGrath) he’ll spend weeks in the gym, gain far too much upper-body muscle, forget to run, be able to hit sixes with one arm but won’t be able to bowl more than three-over spells without collapsing.
PS: you might call Hazlewood a squab … geddit?

I wonder if this is the Australian equivalent of England’s aimless searching for the next Botham.
McGrath and Botham were, in their own ways, one-offs. Just as each all rounder in turn was compared to Beefy (Pringle, DeFreitas, Lewis, Ben Hollioake, Freddie) so will any tall skinny accurate Aussie seamer be compared to Pigeon.
Wait until they Aussies unearth a bleached blonde who turns it miles; Aussie press will really soil themselves then
