Brad Haddin believes Pat Cummins is set for Test cricket – Cricket News Update
After Australian Chairman of Selectors, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170 also believes that the 18-year-old
is set to star for the format, having delivered an exceptional stint at the preceding games against the South African hosts.
“I think one thing you have to remember about http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 and it doesn’t happen that often, when you have someone who hits his speed around 150 and above, cases like this are different because he is so quick,” said Haddin.
“On the flip side we have to make sure we monitor his workload because he’s not used to bowling this much but it’s pretty exciting,” he added. “I hope we see him unleased in the Test matches because if he can sustain that pace it would be very scary for
the batsman.”
During Australia’s preceding outings from their ongoing tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, the 18-year-old Cummins stood out to be the pick of the bowlers, bagging 5 wickets on his premier Twenty20 (T20) international fixtures against the Proteas.
As for his recent appearance for the Aussie national roster, Cummins marked another impressive haul of 3 wickets for 28, at the opening One Day International (ODI) bout against the South African side at Centurion, from the 3-match series.
The speedster, who is already on his way to mark a flourishing career for the Kangaroos, will stand out as the youngest capped player in 58 year, if he is to be picked on the Playing XI for the upcoming 2-match Test series, which kicks off on November 9,
2011, in Cape Town.
Haddin also lauded Cummins, who will be featuring on the Australian Test squad, in place of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Marsh-c1974, who too has been performing exceptionally well as another youth on the roster.
The Aussie also expressed his delight over Cummins and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 for settling in quite well with other team members, and especially with the senior lot.
As for Cummins’ upcoming assignment for the Aussies, the pacer will once against represent his side, which is due to face to the Proteas in the 2nd ODI match, which will be staged at Port Elizabeth, on October 23, 2011.
