AUSTRALIA RECRUIT 17 YEAR OLD BATTING COACH
January 21, 2011 in CRICKET, SPORTS
The Australian Cricket Selectors have moved with haste to rectify the Aussie cricket team by employing a little known 17 year old boy named Daniel Frew. Yesterday was Frew’s first day on the job and to say things went a little pear shaped is an understatement.
Early yesterday morning Clarke gave his autograph to Frew thinking he was just another of his large fan base. However, when Frew appeared in the media conference later in the day he gave the struggling Aussie captain some sound advice on how to break his form slump.
Told he was pushing at the ball too much and playing in front of his body, a jovial Clarke asked what he should be doing and was instructed to ”play in front of your nose and under your eyes and not be reaching for it too much”.
”That’s how you’re going to get out,” said Daniel Frew, 17, from Geelong in Victoria. Those rather sharp words left Clarke ina sour mood and when the two posed for a photo after the press conference tension was running high.
Clarke was unimpressed when Frew asked him to borrow his bat and refused but the new coach put the man in his place by saying ”Why not? You never use it in the middle.”
