Pat Cummins

[sandeep]

This guy is a bonafide star. And has yet to really have a series where he steps into the spotlight.  I'm hoping that this series isn't the one where he does that.  

 

As much as I love to hate the Aussies, I like this kid.  He's a quality bowler who gives his 110% each time every time.  And is capable of producing magic with the ball regardless of conditions.  Watched a lot of his bowling in the home Ind-Aus series, and he was hugely impressive.  Its a bit of weird analogy, and a massive stretch, but I'll make it anyway.  For me, he's the Veeru of pace bowling - If Veeru was batting in a test match, it was must-see TV.  You knew that he's not going to beat around the bush, he's going to attack the bowlers, every ball he possibly can.  Cummins is like that.  

 

And he can bat too.

Very similar to Rabada. Both are 2 of the best fast bowlers currently.

He will get you excited and aroused(with his talent of course) and leave you hanging by breaking down right at the cusp. Fantastic talent but not worth the excitement.

he can bat, bowl and field beautifully, but his body is too fragile. he reminds me of a porcelain vase from the ming dynasty - exquisite but fragile.

Fast bowlers curse.  But he's such a good player, always making something happen on the field.  He hasn't even hit his stride yet with the ball.  Bowls some absolute jaffas on a regular basis.

Oz is very lucky to have him. for all the rightly earned talk about steyn being an ATG, I always felt the likes of ryan harris and pat cummins were unfairly neglected. they have avgs of around 23 in this era, which is not easy to achieve. Of the four Oz pacers around (Patto, Cummins, Starc, Hazel), I think Cummins has the highest ceiling.

Well, I do like the kid, but GTFO early tomorrow.

If Cummings wasn't an elite bowler he would be batting in our top 5, gives it everything and finally, the injury curse he had seems to be over, he is only 25 could be our all-rounder than can bowl 144ks, hope he gets the MOM.

Don't think that can help him in the long run.He is a genuine fast bowler which already  puts too much strain  on his body. So the added burden of scoring runs consistantly from that  5th position can be too much.

At the moment pretty much anyone can bat in your top 5. Cummins (not Cummings) is a great bowler but in his previous ten test innings he only crossed 10 runs three times so let's not get carried away.

That's how it is spelt in Toygerland.  He/She/It has some fetish for impersonating fans from other countries.

Maybe you can send a carrier pigeon from your basement so Cummins can get the message.

 

Hey it's free. Like all the free things you used to ask for on icf.

Don't laugh at Mr self-styled Cricket Acumen.  Calling out such constant hypocrisy is a personal attack.
