What you don’t know about Dirk Nannes!

Last Name: Nannes

First Name: Dirk

DOB: 16 May 1976

Country:  Australia

IPL Team: Delhi Daredevils

Batting style: Right Handed-hand bat

Bowling style: Left arm fast medium

What so special about him that I am writing a whole post about him?? Once you finish reading this you’ll know.

So to begin with what age does a person start playing cricket if he wants to take it as his profession?? may be 14-15 at school or at most 16-18 in his high school but not the case with Nannes. He was a pro skier for Australia and participated in world cup.

But then his interest changed and he decided to take cricket as his next profession. At an age of 27-28 he started playing cricket, played for middlesex (English county) and then IPL.

And yeah he has been doing wonders for the DD’s in the IPL2. However, he was not selected for the Australian 20-20 side, instead he was chosen for Netherlands team in Oct 2008 and will soon be seen in the team color.

Wish him luck and to DD’s too. 🙂

Best Buy for DD?

Who do you think is the best buy for DD ???

Is it Dilshan?

With Veeru and Gauti (Gambhir has it on back of his jersey) not firing for the devils, it’s up to him to take care of the batting line up for the team… a great player as he is the Sri Lankan Captain.  He makes sure that the devils finish it well…!!!

Or is it AB?

They say he is in the best form ever and hell! Yeah he is, being the only batsman to have scored a century in IPL2… he is going great guns. In the field, he is like lighting… always involved!

Or is it the one man who has managed to keep the great pigon out of the side ?

Man! He must be something to have done that, and so he did prove his worth in the match against the unbeaten chargers…. 2/16 …can they get any better…. getting gilly and Gibbs out so early…. he won the well deserved Man Of the Match…. didn’t u get the name still ??  Nannes is the one I’m talking about. Well,  I can go on and on about him… but maybe in some other post!

For me its Nannes, of course…what about you, huh???
