Human hunger is insatiable, and a
theory was framed by a young clergyman by name Alfred
Marshall on that topic. Well I’m no economist to argue with
that, but a young man is out to prove that theory in the
field of cricket. Test Cricket has had its share of the Lees
and the yells over a wicket. Brett Lee yells when he gets a
wicket. Mr. Justin Lee Langer howls the victory yell when he
pouches yet another great low earth gripping, tremor
whipping catch at forward short leg. And that’s not all he
does, he also yells for joy as he scrambles another single
for a hundred, his hunger for runs is insatiable.
He got his first bite of test
cricket against the WI when they toured Australia in 1997 at
the Adelaide Oval. He made 20 and 54 on debut, not something
to really potter about. Initially in his career, he was
predominantly a number three batsman, because he was the
technically correct player in the team.
He finally broke the myth that he
was going to be the one of the best one-down batsman in the
world, when he was promoted to open the innings in the Fifth
and Final Ashes 2001 test at the Oval, as he made a
scintillating century. In his next test, against the NZ at
Brisbane, he again opened and made an unbeaten hundred and
another at Hobart in the immediately next test. By this
time, Hayden had arrived, and together, they started on
their dream hunger satisfaction process. Now he can claim to
be one of the world’s best Test openers of all time!
