James Pattinson likely to make it for the tri-nation series – Cricket News Update
The injured Australian fast bowler, James Pattinson, is swiftly regaining his fitness and is targeting an international return in the upcoming tri-nations tournament, which is scheduled to start from the 5th of February, 2012.
Pattinson made his Test debut late in 2011 against New Zealand and impressed all and sundry with his pace and bounce. Since his debut he has made an impact against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750. The right arm fast bowler was the Indian tormentor in the first two
Tests at Melbourne and Sydney. During the Sydney Test, the pace bowler was feeling pain, and was advised rest for the rest of the series.
On his rehabilitation process, the fast bowler said he had been building up his fitness.
He said, "I've been back doing swimming and bike riding and all that sort of stuff over the last three weeks, so I'll have a week of running and then I'll get back into bowling."
Apart from his brilliant bowling, Pattinson has also shown he is no mug with the bat. He has the potential to become a future all-rounder for Australia.
Pattinson is raw at the domestic level as well, and cricket analysts fear that his physical fitness will be tested to the maximum in international cricket. The young fast bowler is hopeful that he can play for his country for a long time, and for that he
must improve his fitness.
"At the moment we're looking to the start of the one-day series with a bit of luck, and obviously I'll go from there. Hopefully it holds up," the fast bowler added.
Australia has struggled in international cricket since the last four years after the retirement of bowlers like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jason-Neil-Gillespie-c66461. The Kangaroos have found it difficult to bowl sides out twice in a Test match.
However, the emergence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746
will reach the zenith of Test rankings once again.
