still believe Warne and Ponting are the key, Warne can bowl Murali overs when needed, and you'd be certain to find better pacers in any Australian side than you're to find a comparable spinner to Shane.

Better in SC, and NZ Lillee played in was really mid.

Lillee hasn't played enough in SC for us to say anything really, Cummins averages 30 in SC and I don't think I can give much points for that, personally wouldn't put Cummins ahead of someone like Walsh.

Don't agree really. Think Cummins is better at home and Lillee was mid in WI as well, so not placing him much ahead based on that away record.

Dude the criteria is an average side which means you will have average pacers with Warne.

Problem then is Warne won't come into the game until new ball spell is done and not on Day 1 and 2 as much.

Cummins needs a more solid away record. tbh. Unforrtunately our only away series is against the Windies this year.

People will say it doesn’t count. Hopefully he also does well against SA too.

I really would’ve loved to have seen him in SL but it wasn’t to be.

Simply more penetrative with sufficient display outside home in Eng, SA and Pak to show he isn't just a home bully. I would wait until he gets 300 though before declaring him definitely better.

He looked pretty toothless the last Ashes in England and hasn't done nearly enough in Asia compared to Walsh's 77 @ 20 for him to put him ahead.

He had reasons outside cricket I think for that display but it wasn't a good series.

Walsh doesn't take 4WPM at home and sucks in Aus where played the most away.

I think Cummins needs another good Eng or SC series to seal his case but I watched both and think Cummins is just a more reliable wickettaker.

I probably sound kallis here, but that’s no excuse for me.
