Pattinson and Cummins can carry http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380 – Cricket News Update
Australian all-rounder David Hussey is of the view that young pacers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Cummins will develop into the spearheads of the Aussie bowling attack in the future.
“I think both of them could be once-in-a-generation players,” he said. “I think they could carry Australia's attack for the next 10-12 years.”
“They both move the ball at pace ... and they are aggressive. They are not like a young player these days, they are in your face,” he added. “I really like that about them. It is a great quality to have.”
New pace additions to the Aussie bowling attack, both Cummins and Pattinson have impressed with remarkable Test debuts for the national side.
19-year-old Cummins debuted during Australia’s tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 late last year, going on to claim 5 wickets in each of the 2-match T20 series and the 3-match ODI series. He rounded off the superb performances with a total of 7 wickets claimed during
his Test debut in November 2011.
The series against the Proteas has marked his only appearance for the national side to date, and Cummins is currently the youngest player to be granted a central contract since 1998.
22-year-old Pattinson is yet another young fast bowler being touted as a major pace option for Australia in the future. After claiming a five-for in his Test debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 last year in December, the left-hander has gone on to play a total of
5 Tests (having claimed 26 scalps) and 5 ODIs (with a total of 8 wickets to his credit) for the national side.
All eyes are on the youngsters in order to gauge their performances as they look to prove themselves in the upcoming ODI series against England, alongside more experienced pacers such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CJ-McKay-c1265.
Head coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969 has promised an aggressive display from his team as they look to defend their top ODI ranking, and urged the younger players to use this as an opportunity to “make their mark and show us they belong.”
The upcoming limited-overs tour of England involves three days of training at Grace Road, after which the team is expected to play a warm-up match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 on June 23, after which
the Aussies will be facing off against arch-rivals http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 for a 5-match ODI series.
