There is so much to dislike about Paul Harris it is difficult to know where to start.
Firstly, he is unfailingly shite and contravenes the Trade Descriptions Act for describing himself as a spinner. Indeed, you are more likely to encounter a Tasmanian Tiger on a pleasant stroll in the country than witness a ball from Harris that grips, turns or bounces - let alone all three.
Even the South African selectors recognised how bad Harris is when they called up the ineligible Pakistan-born legspinner, Imran Tahir against England earlier this year to huge emabarrassment. The visible disappointment from captain Graeme Smith of having to go back cap in hand to Harris was palpable.
Being this bad, you'd think that Harris would try and remain as conspicuous as possible when he is on the field. Not a bit of it. First of all, he has highlights in his hair that would put Shane Watson to shame. And then there is his comical sledging and posturing. Finally, watching him bat has you reaching for the pills and razors. Urrrghh!
We present Paul Harris, the worst 'spinner' in test cricket, and without a shadow of a doubt a Reverse Sweep zero.
