http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Pattinson-c1653 looks forward to the Boxing Day Test – Cricket News Update
Australian young pacer, James Pattinson is keeping a close eye on the first Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and hopes to fulfill a dream to play at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium on Boxing Day.
The Kangaroo will lock horns with the Men In Blue in a four-Test match series and despite losing some household names through injury, have enough fire power in their bowling ranks to topple the Indians.
On the treatment table are the likes of left-armer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Harris-c2330 is a doubt for
the opening game, which put the Aussie’s preparation under scrutiny.
However, the rise of Pattinson has been a positive thing for the Kangaroos, who showed impressive swing generating abilities in his ongoing debut series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754. He grabbed an impressive five-wicket haul in the opening five-day game at Brisbane,
and kept his good form with another five-for on the first day of the second Test currently being played at Hobart.
The 21-year-old is well aware of the tough task which lies ahead however, simply feels privileged in being part of the current national side. He feels that the Indians will be a stern opposition to beat, but asserted his desire to play in a Boxing Day clash
– an ambition most likely to be fulfilled on December 26.
"That's the pinnacle, the Boxing Day Test. When I was young I would go every year. So to be out there playing is going to be a dream come true - if I get the chance," Pattinson said while talking to Fox Sports. "And against India - there is no better challenge
than their batsmen."
If http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 is expected to slot in at his usual opening
berth and will be keen on sharing burden as the fifth bowler, provided he proves his fitness.
