A friend of Julian87's did some pre-season training with Cullen this year and said he had completely lost his action.16 wickets at 34 in grade cricket last year for Cullen says otherwise.

Nope, hasn't had a go at all and I don't think he will this season. He's almost been shunned. Get the feeling Bailey will monopolise the Futures spot anyway.Looks like he's going OK this year, at least, but be interesting to see whether SA start giving him some time in the Futures League, which I don't think they've done thus far.
Yeah, he's going at about 12 this season though.Nope, hasn't had a go at all and I don't think he will this season. He's almost been shunned.
Not like he's demanding selection though, going for over 34 per wicket in Adelaide grade cricket is pretty average. If a nuffy like Munday can come here and average about 15 with the ball, hell.......
Cullen's averaging 15 this season though so might've rediscovered something. Early days though obviously so it'd be a bit reactionary to give him a Futures game based on that.Not like he's demanding selection though, going for over 34 per wicket in Adelaide grade cricket is pretty average.

Beaten.Yeah, he's going at about 12 this season though.
Both your openers have been terrible all season. It's not like Smith has heaps of credit in the bank from previous seasons either although admittedly he's a local boy and 22 so he might get Ferguson'd.Smith out for a blob, now SA 2/8. Surely can't be too many more seasons before SACA drop him.
Well Cullen's decline is why SA signed Lyon. They're also paying for Lyon to play Futures for Canberra too, so he's not completely out of the loop.Cullen's averaging 15 this season though so might've rediscovered something.

Was there much clearance?Pair for Doolan.
Punter hooks Copeland for 6, to take himself to 7...
huh?Was there much clearance?
It must be. If NSW were bowled for less than 200 again, something must be going on with the pitch. Although I have to say the weather in sydney today hasn't been very overcast for the most part.huh?
Well he is still not getting on top of the pull-shot. Had his share of luck this innings too. Both of these batsmen have. Is it still a mine-field there?
Confidence plays a huge part in a spinners development and evolution, likes of Cullen and Bailey haven't been shown much love by the Redbacks, the moment they have had a bad game or two they have been dropped.16 wickets at 34 in grade cricket last year for Cullen says otherwise.
Clark took most of his wickets because of the slight extra bounce and nip he produced through his wrist action but still on dry flat tracks, Clark really didn't have much up his sleeve to work a batsman over. I hope that's not the case with Copeland.Clark's not a bad comparison, but he bowls a little fuller and gets a lot more movement through the air before it pitches. If he can take almost 100 Test wickets @ 23 I'm sure most people would take that, though, so it's hardly like being compared to Clark is a bad thing.
Again pull-shot??? ffsApparently Ponting gone for 27 again with the pull shot. Watson bowling...
I'm very close to believing Ponting is finished as a dominant world-class player.
