Australia A tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe

[Spikey]

Henriques and Maxwell spending lots of time in the crease is surely the result the selectors were after.............

Both gone now.

Out for 71 and 61. You can tell they recently played for Australia.......

Can't believe this is Cummins first First Class game for 20 months.

His last one before this was the South Africa test!

Says a lot about his luck.

Cummins is obviously the most interesting thing out of this series.

He's probably got one of the highest ceilings of any young quick in the world, there's not too many quicks I've seen like him at his age in the last 15 years with the lack of real quality quicks (Steyn aside). Has Donald/Ambrose tearaway type potential with his pace/bounce, and despite his injury, he only just turned 20 a month or so ago.

Will be really interesting how he goes in this series and the start of the Australian summer, he's a real favourite of Cricket Australia, and I suggest with a bit of form and a decent run of fitness, will be straight into the Australian home Ashes squad.

Australia bowled out for 226. Jarvis and Chigs the pick of the Zimbabwean bowlers. I have my doubts though that the batsmen will be able to back up the bowlers efforts. I can see the Australian bowlers going through the Zimbabwean batsmen like a hot knife through butter

However most of them are very inexperienced.

Decent first three overs from Patto then.

"Decent first three overs from Patto then. "

 

[Cabinet96]

Eh?

 

[Spikey]

patto aint here man

 

[Prince EWS]

patto aint here man

He means Pat Cummins.

Nickname would be fine if Pattinson didn't exist; it'll get confusing if he keeps calling him that though...

 

[Spikey]

incidentally all three of these great new south wales bowlers would be performing better than pattinson

 

[Prince EWS]

Vusi far better than any of the batsmen playing at Lords today; Cummins proving his worth by knocking him over.

 

[Cabinet96]

I refuse to call him Cummo.

 

[Prince EWS]

I refuse to call him Cummo.

Just call him Cummins then. Don't be a pup11.

 

[Spikey]

I mean, Patty

I was gonna make a cumming pun, but I can't think of a good one.

Good stuff from Cummins and Hazlewood. Our bowling will be awesome at least for the next 10-12 years. Pattinson, Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood.
