Bangladesh vs Australia, Postponed Indefinitely

[Showbags]

Apparently Logie was awesome as well, he was quicker than Boony but Boony never dropped them.

Logie was brilliant everywhere so not surprising he was good in close.

Cummins has done a stress fracture and sounds like he'll be out for a while.

Faulkner has replaced him in the Bangladesh squad.

Just when he was looking good...

Cummins out of the tour with a stress fracture. Faulkner into the squad

It's hard to see Cummins having a meaningful test career, sadly.

 

[G Mus]

Wow, I guess some bodies just aren't built for it

 

[Lensen]

perhaps if they tried actually letting him play extended red ball cricket at a lower level and getting the body used to fielding all day etc he might have a chance

nah * that get him flying around the world for T20s

 

[Showbags]

So Cummins is stuffed. Pattinson breaks down left right and centre. Hazlewood is also injury prone.

Our once bright fast bowling future doesn't look as bright these days.

 

[BarneyBent]

*. Poor guy. Must be something in his action doing this. Probably need to completely remodel it if he's going to ever have a career.

 

[The_Reaper]

* that was predictable.

Also they really don't want to pick Hazlewood do they?

 

[MisterMarcus]

You have to say that they're screwing Cummins around by constantly rushing him back after long lay-offs.

Hopefully next time, they just leave him to gradually work his way up to speed in domestic cricket.

Australia paceman Pat Cummins has been ruled out of the upcoming tour of Bangladesh after another yet injury setback.

Cricket Australia physiotherapist David Beakley said in a statement on Thursday that Cummins had experienced lower back pain in the final one-day international against England last month.

"This pain continued upon his return to Australia," Beakley said.

"He subsequently underwent an MRI scan yesterday which unfortunately has revealed a new early stage lumbar bone stress fracture.

"Consequently Pat will be unable to participate in the Bangladesh Test series and will now enter into a lengthy rehabilitation program."

Well it was good while it was lasted.

It is almost comical how much bad luck the bloke has had.

Cummins may eventually get his body right. It'll probably be just after the point when a fast bowler starts to lose pace due to the ageing process.

Waste of time.

 

[Pounce]

Imagine how disappointed Cummins must be after he felt his body was coming good. I hope he can slowly work his way back and this time get a good run playing domestic cricket.

On a more positive note it is good to see Faulkner back in line for Test selection.

He probably needs to play a season of grade cricket before he plays any state cricket again.

And it is good that Faulkner is in the team even for such an unfortunate reason.

 

[sherb]

He has played the grand total of 8 first-class games in 4 and a half years.

 

[BEaston]

Guy is a cripple. Totally forget about him in terms of national selection until he gets 2 full domestic seasons in. If that ever happens.

 

[1892]

Poor bloke, never good seeing someone not getting a decent run at it because of injury.

 

[Cleavy]

hopefully he has a backup plan outside of cricket and injury rehab stints.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

That's crap news about Pat Cummins Devastated as he is one of my favourites

 

[Carbine Chaos]

All of a sudden Mitch Marsh becomes a vital part of the side as the 3rd seamer.

Bangladesh should be right up for this, no reason they can't win.

 

[western royboy]

Ponting was unbelievably versatile close in, absolutely elite at cover and bat pad. Interesting about Bancroft, have never heard of a "specialist bat pad" being picked.



Apparently Logie was awesome as well, he was quicker than Boony but Boony never dropped them.

Logie was the best non slip fielder I've seen - had a super arm in him for a little fella

 

[western royboy]

Wow, I guess some bodies just aren't built for it

The thing about bowling restrictions and loads is this - they either apply across every level if the game or not at all - Cummins workload in two games at a young age ****ed his back for good.

 

[MisterMarcus]

It is almost comical how much bad luck the bloke has had.

Seems to be more "bad management" than bad luck, tbh...

When a paceman gets that back fracture it spells the end of being a player at top level. Tremlett was a beast of a fast bowler and then he got struck down with back problems . He had the long process of getting back to fitness but the pace was way down on his return.
