David Hussey lauds http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Cummins’ “impressive” performance against Essex – Cricket News Update
Praising Pat Cummins’ 3-wicket haul against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380 expressed the hope that the young pacer’s fiery performance would ring alarm bells in the English camp.
“He was very impressive, he's going to be one h**l of a cricketer I think,” Hussey said.
“I think Gemma Broad (Stuart's sister) from the English team has been videotaping and sending it back,” he added, referring to the tour match. “So hopefully it sends a few shudders into the English team or English camp.”
19-year-old Cummins is Cricket Australia’s youngest contracted player at the moment, and among the team’s most promising pace prospects for the future. The right-armer made his international debut in October last year, during a series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. He claimed 5 wickets in the 2-match T20 series, and followed that up with another 5 wickets in 3 ODIs. In addition, he went on to claim a total of 7 wickets during his Test debut in the same tour.
Following his time with the national squad, the young pacer went on to play three youth ODIs for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 Under-19 in April this year, during which he claimed a total of 5 scalps.
Despite the fact that he had only played one Test, 3 ODIs, and 2 T20Is for the national side, Cummins was included in the line-up for Australia’s ongoing limited-overs tour of England on the basis of his impressive debut.
He went on to claim 1 for 11 in the only ODI against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 on June 23 at Belfast before rain stopped play, forcing the match to end with no result. However, the tour match against Essex afforded newcomers the perfect opportunity to, as head coach Mickey Arthur put it, “make their mark and show us they belong”, and Cummins made full use of the chance. The fast bowler went on to claim a total of 3 for 26 in 7 overs, registering an economy rate of 3.71.
Bolstered by a strong start, Cummins has the opportunity to cement a permanent place in the squad in the upcoming 5-match ODI series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, due to begin on June 29 at Lord’s in London.
