Australia vs India 2018-19: The bowling 'Fab Four' of the Aussies

#3 Pat Cummins

His menacing pacy deliveries are a treat to watch

He is the third pacer of the thunderous trio. Pat Cummins made his debut as an 18-year-old at the Wanderers in South Africa and picked up a six-for in the second innings. The 'Teen Thunder of Down Under' was probably touted to be the one for the future.

He had a sensational debut. However, his career thereafter has been rigged by injuries thereby ruling out of many competitions and series in the process. He made a return to the test arena in 2017 against India in Australia’s Tour of India. He bowled his heart out in the fourth and final test which also was the series decider picking up four wickets in the innings.

The right-arm pacer from Sydney bowls regularly at fast pace extracting seam movement off the pitch. He gives the batsman a run for their money by consistently clocking 90 miles an hour thereby creating havoc in the batting order. He is also a useful handy lower-order batsman lower down the order and has made significant contributions with the bat rescuing the team.

He is also the second highest wicket-taker in 2018 for the team in Test matches, having picked 30 wickets in just 5 Test matches at a peanut bowling average of 19.7. He has been on a roll with the ball in 2018 and is the leading wicket-taker among the fast bowlers in the team.

The three tall and lanky pacers shall pose a major challenge to the untested brittle Indian middle order. Team India shall be aware of the threat posed by Cummins.
