Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326, the Australian vice-captain, has lavished special praise on his young teammate, Pat Cummins, and termed him as one of the decade’s most impressive cricketers.
The Kangaroos are currently warming up for the upcoming tour to South Africa, where the side will meet the Proteas in two T20 Internationals, three 50-over matches and a couple of Tests.
The show will commence with the first T20 at Cape Town on October 13, 2011. Cummins, who is the youngest fellow in the present national setup, will be available to serve http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in both T20 and ODI competitions against the South Africans.
Since the 18-year-old pacer is yet to play his first International game, the world of cricket is still unaware of his potential.
However, Watson believes that Cummins is the one of the best cricketers the world has produced over the last 10 years.
"He's as impressive as I've seen for any young guy coming through for the past 10 years," Watson was quoted by The Age, as saying.
Recalling his early days of cricket, the blistering all-rounder added, "Pat's a very impressive young guy ... I know what I was like when I was 18 and I definitely didn't handle myself as well as what he is. He's a really intelligent, switched on young
guy and a pretty quiet, humble guy as well. So he is just taking it in his stride at the moment."
Cummins has staged himself in three first-class matches so far. However, he was so impressive at the domestic level, the selectors, including the skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978, were left with no other option than bringing him into the national side for the trip
to Africa.
In the just-concluded Champions League T20, the youngster displayed an excellent show with the ball for his outfit, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823, and grabbed seven wickets in five matches.
Watson hoped that Cummins will carry on with the great work and come up with a great performance in the upcoming T20 combat against the Hashim Amla-led South African side.
