Cummins out of Perth test

not good

Could be out for the entire series lets hope not.

Not ideal but bowling is the one area where we have some depth to come in.

[CENTURION]

Got a funny, almost horrible feeling that the poms have this series in the bag.

Bloke by the name of Scott Boland goes alright over here.

CUMMINS V BOLAND ratings

BETTER BOWLER...PC
BETTER FIELDER..PC
BETTER CAPTAIN Insufficient data
BETTER BATSMAN...PC

My conclusion is whilst Boland can arguably bowl as well as Cummins in the first test, overall Cummins is a massive loss

I know this is a BIG CALL
Pat Cummins is the best FIRST change bowler ive SEEN play for Australia
Lillie, Mcgrath are better bowlers but they were opening bowlers

[RB]

Boland has more test hat-tricks though.

Maybe before your time but Max Walker was a great 1st change bowler

[mal]

Yep- well investigated L801, Max almost as good as Pat
And Max Walker was a better Australian Rules footballer and Author than Pat Cummins

[Lightning McQueen]

Maybe before your time but Max Walker was a great 1st change bowler

WG Grace wasn't even before mal's time.

[Lightning McQueen]

Boland has more test hat-tricks though.

Cummins' average in tests in Australia 22.10.
Boland's average in tests in Australia 16.53.

Fair replacement.

Wasn't doubting that, I just think that Boland is an adequate replacement.

[Booney]

Do I really have to go to Perth for work the week of the Test match and get into a corporate box?

If I have to I guess I can, dirty work but someone has to do it.
