Australia won the second one-dayer by 67 runs. Symonds scored a timely 103 not out, while Clarke added 54.
Dan Cullen can't buy a wicket, but he's been bowling very economically (0-37 from 10 today).

Cullen has bowled alright in the first two one dayers, just cant get that break through. He seems to be working hard, so in time the wickets will come.

That's right, if he keeps putting the ball in the right places, he will start picking up wickets.

Too many of Cullen's deliveries are going down the leg side. Usually this is symptomatic of a youngster trying too hard and pushing them through instead of working the ball and using a bit more flight. I watched one of George's overs and he has the experience and confidence to flight the ball a bit more. This tour will benefit Cullen immensely but he is clearly not ready for the big guns just yet but a great decision by the selectors to include him on this tour.

This is why Georgie isn't worried about Cullen stealing his spot as No. 1 spinner in the World Cup squad. I don't think we will see Cullen's full potential until Warne & MacGill have moved on and he has become the nation's No 1 spinner
