Profile
South Australian paceman Mark Harrity has been consistently plagued by
injury problems over the course of his career yet remains one of Australian
domestic cricket's most dangerous bowlers. Fiery and wholehearted, the left
armer is a passionate cricketer who bowls with tremendous speed and
hostility. From a medium length run-up and slightly angular approach,
Harrity's stock deliveries tend to be those which pitch just short of a
driveable length and move back into right handers but he also bowls with
disarming variety. It is common to see him swing the new ball both ways and
to produce stinging yorkers which have the capacity to undo all but the most
vigilant batsmen. A lethally destructive bowler when at his best, Harrity
has cruelly been denied the opportunity to enjoy a prolonged run of success
because of ongoing problems in warding off back injuries. His misfortune
has also appeared to dent his confidence at times, making it difficult for
him in recent years to command a regular berth alongside the likes of Jason
Gillespie and Paul Wilson in the Redbacks' best attack. Better luck will
almost certainly see him become a permanent strike bowler for the team.
(John Polack, August 2001)
