panther Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-australia-2012/content/story/570642.html?CMP=chrome Cummins out of England tour Andrew McGlashan at The Oval July 1, 2012 Pat Cummins' England tour is over after he suffered a side strain Pat Cummins, the Australia fast bowler, has been ruled out of the remainder of the one-day series against England after sustaining a side strain during the opening match at Lord's on Friday. Cummins took 1 for 53 in his 10 overs in the first match, having England captain Alastair Cook caught behind, but pulled up with pain after the game and has been diagnosed with a medium-grade strain. Australian team doctor John Orchard, said: "Pat sustained an abdominal muscle strain on his left side during the first ODI at Lord's. Whilst he was able to complete his ten overs, he was sore after the game and was scanned, the results of which have revealed a medium grade side-strain. This will keep him out of the remainder of the England tour. His return to cricket will be decided in due course, based on follow-up examinations in Australia." Cummins will fly home to Australia on Monday and the selectors have decided against calling up a replacement player to the squad. Brett Lee and Clint McKay formed a three-man pace attack at Lord's, while Ben Hilfenhaus, Mitchell Johnson and James Pattinson are the other quicks in the squad. This tour marked Cummins' return to the international scene following the foot injury he picked up on the tour to South Africa last November, which kept him out of action for the whole of the Australian season. The side strain will put his place on the A-tour to England, which follows the one-day series, in doubt.
Crookbond Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 He should start having cumin seeds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumin#Nutritional_value
rkt.india Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 hope full they play HIlfy and Pattinson in place of Mckay and Cummins..
jairamesh Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Cummins = Tait Mark II People say he doesn't have a strainful action like Tait, I am not sure what they are watching, all his power comes from that final omph! just like Tait.
adi B Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 disappointed :(( ..he is such a treat to watch.......johnson is known to make great comebacks after returning from injury or being dropped, i wont be surprised if johnson takes a five for

Ultimate_Game Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Feel bad for the youngster Back to back injuries for a bowler, especially a youngster are devastating. Hope he recovers and that CA support him in these tough times.
CoverDrive Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Mitchell Johnson replaces him. how crap is johnson
CG Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 australi should play either hilfy or pattinson ,johnson is coming back after a layoff allthough he is a good odi bowler.

He is just a youngster and it is not new get injured at this tender age if one bowls at 140-145k. He will only get stronger. Regarding his action, he has a side on action which will be prone to back injuries but he has a good runup unlike Tait and Tait was slingy who had a very strained delivery stride. He right now lacks strength and stamina to sustain his pace and fitness but as he gets stronger, he will become even faster.
Old guy Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 he is just not ready for this there is a reason why not every 19 year old bowler bowls at 150... its rare// dont think even lee was this quick at such age
Deja Vu Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 he is just not ready for this there is a reason why not every 19 year old bowler bowls at 150... its rare// dont think even lee was this quick at such age Lee was devastating early in his teens. If I recall correctly, he has said when he was 14-15 (approx) years old, he used to hit 140km/h+. Now I don't know if that's true or not.
saneindian Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Maybe he isn't yet ready to handle the workload of international cricket. Aussies are trying to have a couple of pace bowlers with x factor for the next Ashes. Not sure if its the right idea. Let Cummins be away from int'l cricket for a season or two, let him mature a little more, let his body develop too before getting him back in the int'l side.
