At 18, Patrick Cummins is physically, at least in some way to reach its peak fast bowler. It 'was a point underlined when Greg Chappell Cummins left the tour of Zimbabwe with his back, an injury that has roots in the tendency of Cummins' extreme speed. However, Chappell added that even if Cummins was a few years to reach maturity as a player, do not rule out the tasks of Australia. Cummins had the opportunity sooner than most would have expected, and circulates in South Africa with the Twenty20 and ODI national teams.
When ESPNcricinfo spoke four days before the announcement of the Australian team, Cummins believes that its rigorous preseason training him in good stead for the challenges ahead. His work on the plan had focused primarily on the development of the muscles to keep your bowling mark and prevent potential failures in the future.
"In hindsight it was missing the positive side of visiting Zimbabwe," Cummins, who is in India with the team of New South Wales in the Champions League, he said. "He gave me the opportunity to be a good pre-season, where I did a lot of strength training. I spent most of his time working on muscle building, and I am tense all the time."
Back strain did not affect Cummins thinking a little, and he remains focused on creating the kind of pace and bounce which earned him 11 wickets in the Big Bash, making him top wicket-taker in the tournament. He chose his fast-bowling great model, he seeks to Stuart Clark as a mentor and idolizes Brett Lee, another supplier of famous rhythm of his condition.
"In a way, I was fortunate that my injury was not too seriously [as a stress fracture], it is still about to go out and give it my all," said Cummins. "I want to bowl as fast as I can. If you try to mess around too much with the approach or the rhythm, you can end up with a completely different action."
Spring training seemed to have paid off for Cummins, which was plenty busy for a live debut in the Champions League. New South Wales managed only 135, but is out of Cummins and Cape Cobras opener pushed the actual speed and bounce on a track that was so slow that Dale Steyn was relegated to a whole lot of offcutters early in the day.
Cummins A guard took off from the length of the last in a Herschelle Gibbs, who forged further in the haste, and almost became the head of the guard who had to jump up to a total length of the bar down. Another short ball Gibbs harassed the top edge a pull to place in the stands behind the fine leg - standard rate band Chepauk almost lifeless.
Gibbs was very impressed with what he saw of him, but Cummins advised to work on their variety. In windows spicy South Africa, will be a handful, even without changes, particularly in periods lasting only four overs. Cummins is eager to make an impression, if you have the opportunity in the short-term formats, but said that "green is obviously the big end."
