Pat Cummins is excited over his comeback into the team - Cricket News Update
Saturday’s wash out didn’t dampen fast bowler http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 was abandoned after only ten overs of play at the
Civil Service Cricket Club, Stormont.
However, the short window of opportunity was enough for the New South Wales’ pacer, who ran in with pace in his three overs, bowling at over 90mph while further grabbing a wicket.
The 19-year-old burst on to the international scene last year, where he made his debut against Proteas in a three-match ODI series. He was then picked for the final Test between the two sides, putting in a match winning performance by taking 7 wickets. He
suffered a bone-stress injury during that game which cut-short his international progress since then.
Cummins marked his comeback by picking the scalp of Irish opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 in the slip. While the rain deprived the visitors of a much needed practice before the upcoming England series, Cummins was
simply excited to get on the field of cricket.
"It's brilliant to play again, we came here thinking there was not too much chance of playing so to get out there, even just for 11 overs, was good fun," Cummins said.
"It just felt good to be out there. It's been about seven months or so for me so it's great to play for Australia again; to come back and play for your country is something special," the young bowler added. Cummins was ecstatic to be sharing the new-ball
with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419, the veteran quick, he looked up to emulate as a kid.
Lee jolted the Irish batting with the initial shock waves, sending back captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ed-Joyce-c1417 two balls later, with both men failing to open their accounts. The home side further
slipped to 3 for 36, after which rain interrupted the proceedings.
“Myself and Brett have been talking about bowling together for about a year now and with the injury it just didn’t happen, so it was great to finally be down at the other end bowling,” he said.
The young Aussie, despite a promising showing, will be keeping his fingers crossed to feature in the final-eleven for the NatWest series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 starting from Jun 29.
