Awww come on, get the young punk on!

Wide gets them off the mark.

I missed Joyce's innings putting sausage rolls in the oven.

cant wait for cummins. you poms wouldnt have seen him would you?

 

[stumpski]

Only on TV in that SA series.

We've had one ridiculous mismatch already today, don't want another one.

 

[Top_Cat]

Cummins will be interesting; will he go all out or be a bit cautious? Hoping for the former. Is still quite good when bowling within himself, though.

Next stage: runs off the bat.

 

[Top_Cat]

Really does defy belief that Lee is bowling a shade faster than when he played his first Test.

There's this new invention called "television". It shows pictures that somehow move. I suspect witchcraft, myself, but I'm assured it's kosher.

Heavy handed sarcasm aside, I saw his test debut in Yarpville. Looks the mutts nuts.

 

[uvelocity]

he's an amazing specimen

e: could be a reply to both the above posts

okok re tv i got excited ok

Kind of puts paid to the whole "why are we still playing him?" questions, doesn't it

 

[Top_Cat]

Looks an easy-paced deck, almost nothing off the deck as yet.

EDIT: Haha, how much does Cummins look like McG circa 1999 right now?

 

[uvelocity]

some nice shots. that cover drive superb

 

[BoyBrumby]

Legside half-volley from Hilf. It's like 2010/11 all over again.

& follows it up with an offside one to show what a versitle bowler he now is.

 

[Spark]

Fair shot that

 

[Top_Cat]

haha, was about to make a crack along the lines of "Wow, almost 3 overs in and no short ones from Lee yet. He really has matured!"

And then that happened. Old dog, new tricks, etc.

EDIT: That shot from Stirling sorta says to me the deck's good. 90mph and on-the-up through cover, nice.

 

[Spikey]

I really wish I posted the joke about Doherty being a under 30 player contracted as a batsman, cause cricinfo has him listed to come in at 5. so i could have been like "See! He's contracted as a batsman!"

 

[ajdude]

hahaha over the loudspeaker "the new bowler is pat cummins, and can we get a clean up on aisle 3"

 

[Top_Cat]

Cummins on the button already. Seriously good.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Slight alteration to Cummins's action? Seems to be standing up more in his delivery stride, which will help his back.

 

[Top_Cat]

Possibly, still a bit too much of 'right-arm past the vertical' at release, for mine.
