Sorry thought you meant big man. Yes he is strong for his size. He isn't a heavy guy or muscled guy is what I meant. Johnson is a lot lot bigger than Cummins. Hazlewood is built like a tall twig. I agree. Cummins is a strong but not well built is what I was going to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cummins is notorious for conserving energy for his beloved Aussie test side. Something our lads won't do when they are playing IPL. They why he is so much better with bat in IPL than in T20Is? He doesn't have good record in T20s but in IPL, he averages 20 at 145 strike rate. My personal opinion is he is not a great T20 bowler but in a strong pace attack, he can do a good supporting role job and bowl under his limits rather than trying to be enforcer( which he does successfully in tests). In IPL, he cannot do a support job because he remains the leader of the attack most of the times. Edited April 8, 2022 by Majestic Lord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are fast, bouncy pitches where seam bowlers getting assistance and batsman also can hit through the line by trusting the bounce. Spinners on the other hand have limited role to play. Normally you associate these kind of tracks in Australia where the T20 world cup is this season. Yes. And it probably explains a few things:- 1. Pacers picking more wickets in powerplay. Umesh suddenly became consistent, Prasidh is another example who was not that good a bowler earlier. 2. Livingstone sucks on slow pitches. Full credit for him to for adapting but maybe it's a factor. Gill also thrives when there's pace on the ball, shining till now. 3. Teams coming back after early wickets. Most teams are getting close to par scores despite early wickets. Pitches are flat after early movement. Obviously, this is temporary and we will return to spin conducting pitches as we move ahead.
