Michael Hussey impressed with young fast bowlers – Cricket News Update
Australia’s man of crisis, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942, has revealed that his team’s young pacers were pretty impressive during a torrid net session at the Gabba.
The Kangaroos are currently sharpening their teeth for the upcoming two-match battle against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, starting this week with the first encounter at Brisbane.
The Aussies are not enjoying a good time at the moment, as many important players are suffering from fitness problems. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945 are out of the side due to their respective injury
issues, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 are struggling with the batting form.
Moreover, Australia’s squad for the opening Test is full of youngsters, as it includes four uncapped players, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Pattinson-c1653.
Despite conceding the fact that it will be extremely tough for the young lads to settle down in such hard circumstances, Hussey insisted that new faces are raring to go, and have made a very good impression during the practice session.
"I thought all the [young pace] bowlers bowled pretty well today, just from watching. I did enjoy it. You need to get that sort of a challenge leading up to a Test match to simulate your training so it's like what you'll get out in the middle. It certainly
gets the adrenalin rushing, that's for sure," said Hussey, an integral part of the Aussie batting line-up.
He was particularly fascinated by Cutting – the 24-year-old who broke into the national setup following his wonderful performance at the domestic level – 84 wickets in 21 matches.
The 36-year-old batter described that the young man is a promising fast bowler, and his eagerness to do well at the big stage will be valuable for the team.
"He was very impressive. There's plenty of motivation for him to charge in the nets with a baggy green up for grabs. He hit the bat hard, bowled with good pace, got a little bit of movement,” added the 64-Test veteran batsman who holds a terrific average
of over-50, and has smashed 15 tons in the longest version of the sport.
