Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

I'll counter that view Rayden as I have been waiting to see Cummins again for a while and frankly I wasn't particularly impressed - lacked control/consistency and relied upon seam instead of the swing he once had.  Seems to always err on the short side and that's a big no no for red ball cricket IMO.

Personally I'd rank him about par with Pattinson - and I'd only consider either if they were consistently taking shield wickets and taking them with away movement.

We need to be developing that third option, and I agree that a bloke who moves the ball away from the bat such as Bird and/or Sayers must be in the frame.

Faulkner is a player who I really like but his time seems to be past - bowling is pretty pedestrian these days and there are plenty of similar handy batty options... but I'd still play him before Mitch Marsh who simply isn't up to it.  Hits powerfully through the line but other that looks stiff and wooden.

Cummins has changed his action and doesnt swing the ball anymore..,more of the angle in and get the ball to seam away type bowler now, like I said I reckon they will go with Sayers and try and develop a genuine swing bowler to compliment Starc and Hazlewood.
