Excited about the upcoming Ashes in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Faulkner-c1643, the Australian all-rounder, is feeling the responsibility and understands that he has an important role to play if the Kangaroos are to do well in the all-important event.
The 23-year-old cricketer made his international debut last year but he is yet to play his first Test match. However, Faulkner has been included in the squad for the Ashes and there is a strong chance that the left-arm seamer will

"I feel a bit of responsibility, I suppose, when I'm home, and in any game I play in as an all-rounder, you know you're going to be in the game and you know there's going to be moments when you have to step up," Faulkner expressed.
The left-armer further added that playing aggressive cricket is his strength and he will back his natural instincts against the arch-rivals.
He mentioned, “You've got to play with that competitive nature, and that's what gives me that edge to want to do well, to get batsmen out or to score runs. I'll continue to play that way but make sure I don't cross the line."
Faulkner came through the ranks of junior cricket in the country, having played for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals in the sixth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and impressed one
and all with his ability to pick up wickets at crucial junctures of the game. Faulkner was amongst the leading wicket-takers of the season, helping his franchise qualify for the play-offs.
The Ashes provides the budding cricketer a brilliant opportunity to make a name for himself at the highest stage of the game.
