the wild beast man dirty dirk nannes (player profile)

Just before we start, I need you to say Dirty Dirk Nannes out loud.

Good, we can proceed.

There doesn’t seem too much information on Dirty Dirk Nannes on the internet.

But when has that stopped me from talking about someone.

Dirty Dirk is another fast bowler who has been picked from real life rather than cricket academies and representative sides.

My belief is that he was actually a Bushranger back in the 1870’s and somehow got himself frozen Encino man style before Rodney Hogg and Ken Piesse found him and thawed him out.

Ofcourse that may be just cause of the beard.

Not enough sportsmen wear beards these days, perhaps because Dean Jones will say inappropriate comments about them, Dirks is a very good one, even though he shaves it off all to regularly.

I have seen most of Australia’s best domestic batsmen look in trouble against him this year. When he is on song he is powerful bowler who pushes you into the position he wants you to be in.

Dirks bowling is quick, he is living proof that the speed gun has little to do with actual speed when your standing at the other end. Mind you I have seen him push the gun to 148.

He is intimidating, physically he is a big man, and also cause he looks like an angry wild man who wants to tear you apart.

Sitting at the ground you can hear him grunt, scream, and yell in frustration, and I’m sure I saw a young NSWelsh batsmen make sure he was always on the other side of the pitch to Dirk whilst running between wickets.

His line and length seem to be at your arm pit. Saying he hits the deck hard is like saying Sonny Liston punched hard, its not an apt description, he hits the deck like a sledge hammer operated by an ice addict.

Right at the moment I think he is the best 2020 domestic quick in Australia, and his one day and four day form is not too far behind.

Now that we’ve told you all the good stuff, lets mention the things that make him even more interesting.

He falls over, alot. It seems to be once an over, but it may be more. It's not even a good fall, its more a weird break dancing move.

His batting is well pure number 11. I’ve only seen him bat a few times, but he may be my favourite number 11 in Australia at the moment. To put it simply, so far with the vics he has shown very little, and I like that in a number 11.

His fielding is probably worse. Cameron white decicded to put him in the circle for one of 2020 games, which was clearly done to lift the spirits of the guys through humour.

My favourite fielding memory of him was at the G when he stormed out after a skied ball, he ran so hard and fast to get to the ball that when he got there he chested it 35 meters away.

That was one of those moments you never forget.

Even though he comes across as a red meat eating fast bowler who would literally try and beat you to death with your own arms, he may just be a pretty cluey business man as well.

You can Visit Dirty Dirks business Global Snow tours (he must be a demons supporter) when you are planning your next white powder experience, I just made that sound like cocaine didn’t I.

Just don’t get between him and a white capped peak, as the wild beast man might come out in him.
