my main worry with him is that he's all pace. I mean, this season, I saw him take wickets solely through putting a fast ball on or around the stumps.....and he ain't pushing 150km/h.A few bowlers have got inflated records 'cause of seam/swing conditions but I think Cutting has an inflated just based on the poor standard of batting that can't cope with the step up in pace from juniors/grade. He's going at 3.48 runs an over in the shield which is a huge worry considering, as above, he's fast, but he ain't brett lee fast.
that said maybe he comes on quick to the bat or something. but he interests me the least of bowlers around the squad. i feel for him a bit, he might have taken some wickets had he played nz because nz are traditionally terrible against quick bowlers, but really, from qld alone I'd sooner pick harris, magoffin and mcdermott for aus. that said an aus a tour should be the best pace to test whether his style of bowling is capable of stepping up
