Australia v England - Third Test: Day 2
Cummins was too hot to handle at times

There is something about Pat Cummins that makes you feel that he is the best Australian pace bowler amongst the three in the squad.

While Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are the more celebrated of the three, Cummins is a complete fast bowler, with pace, swing, seam movement, yorkers, a perfect bouncer, cutters and everything else that completes a fast bowler.

He had made a mark in his first tour of the country seven years ago, and although couldn't do as much, was pretty hot to handle at Port Elizabeth. He had gotten rid of Aiden Markram on day 1 and proceeded to remove Kagiso Rabada on day 2.

For most of day 2, he was the only Aussie bowler in the wicket column as Elgar and Amla taunted them under the hot sun.
