Australia’s vice-captain, Shane Watson, has no doubts over Doug Bollinger’s great skills with the ball, saying that the left-arm pacer has been a great performer in Twenty20 cricket over the past two years.
Although, the young seamer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, Bollinger put up an excellent performance, bagging one wicket at an economy rate of 5.75 – the best by any Australian
bowler in the game.
His outstanding bowling helped the Aussies register their first win on the tour to South Africa at Cape Town, on October 13, 2011.
Watson gave full credit to Cummins for coming up with a match-winning performance but at the same time, heaped special praise on the left-arm pacer, saying a fit Bollinger is an asset for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
"Doug's been doing this in Twenty20 cricket consistently for the past couple of years. It's great for us he's fit and charging in as he is... I know, as an opening batsman, if someone's bowling good pace with good bounce and a little bit of swing as well,
it's hard to be able to line them up more than anything," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Watson, as saying.
The Kangaroos are due to play three One-Dayers and a couple of Test matches after the second T20 clash, set to be played at Johannesburg, on Sunday, October 16, 2011.

However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 for having trouble against the left-arm pacers as unfair, saying that the left-arm quick bowlers have always been problematic for lefties.
"When you do face them, they are a bit different and there's no doubt the left-armers have given a lot of batsman a lot of trouble throughout their careers, not just http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GC-Smith-c1473," added the blistering all-rounder who holds a superb strike rate of over-150
in T20 Internationals.
