Pat Cummins keen to bowl against ‘rock-star’ Sachin Tendulkar – Cricket News Update
Australia’s young and talented pacer, Pat Cummins, is eagerly looking forward to bowl against the Indian batting legend, Sachin Tendulkar, whom he considers to be a ‘rock-star’.
After making a fabulous Test debut in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, the teenage fast bowler is now getting ready for a high-voltage home series against the Men in Blue, starting from December 26.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 reveals that he has been watching Tendulkar’s batting since his childhood, as the Master Blaster made his International debut even before the pacer’s birth. The young gun has applauded Sachin and admitted that the right hander is equally good everywhere
in the world.
Cummins is of the view that facing Tendulkar will be a tough challenge for him in the 4-match series, therefore, he is not going for any counter scheme against him.
Talking to the media today, the 18-year-old said, “He`s one of the greats of all time, I`ve grown up watching him. For someone who is a bit of a pocket rocket, he`s not too tall, even against the fastest bowlers he seems to stand up and lift another gear.
It`s more imagining the moment of playing people like him, it`d be a massive thrill.”
He further elaborated, “To get a game, even here in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 - it`s going to be a massive challenge. He`s someone hopefully all the bowlers don`t get too overawed versing
him and I guess you`ve got to still imagine him like any other batsmen.”
The Sydney-born speedster grabbed a 7-wicket haul in his maiden Test against the Proteas last week, steering his side to clinch a victory. He also staged his ODI and T20I debuts in the same tour.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607, who has been unable to lash his 100th International ton so far, is also eying this long-awaited feat against the Aussies. The legend, who has just completed 22 years in International cricket, poses to be the top scorer of the world in
both Test and ODI formats of the game.
