Ben Cutting

[Drummond]

Let's get this guy into the Australian side. 22 years of age, nice height at 1.92cm.

Took 6/37 today against Tasmania so match figures of 8/78.

4 ODD games with an average of 20.50, economy rate 4.10.

Gun!

Queensland have always had an uncanny knack of producing good quality bowlers. Cutting looks the goods and also Scotty Walter.

I hope this thread is tongue in cheek.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Nah, Aussies selectors only look at NSW bowlers who have a few decent games. Ben has had a good start to the season, just needs to produce it consistently.

Personally, I would rather keep guys like Cutting, Laughin, Rimmington and Walter in the Bulls team so we can win the trophies that matter.

 

[aussie1st]

What sort of pace is he genreating? Cricinfo has him as right arm fast.

 

[Mr Big Footy]

Above 135..not super quick. But is quite aggresive.

Show me a New South Weshman who's been called up to the ODI team after only 4 List A matches in his career.

This thread is idiocy.

Um this guy?

Um this guy?

Unless Caesar was using undetected sarcasam possibly the greatest owning of all time.

****ing hell. I thought you were joking until I Googled it, I hadn't heard. I guess that answers the question about this thread being tongue in cheek.

What the **** is this country coming to?

IMO unless you're Glenn McGrath, you've got to be bowling 140+ to be successful at international level these days. Siddle was lethal against SA when bowling 145+ yet looked pedestrian against England when bowling mid to late 130s. And Brett Lee well he bowls - dare I say it - 'pies' when he drops below 140...

Haha..

Yeah its unbelieveable Cockley bowls well for half a shield season and does ok at North Sydney against WA, to then start bowling (maybe) for Australia...seriously what is going on Dirk Nannes, Ashley Noffke, Brett Geeves, Stuart Clark are going to kill some poor bastards at training this week.

I can see someone doing an Adolf Hitler rant on youtube about this...

Yeah exactly true. The only exception is reverse swing.

The wickets are better, the batsmen have adjusted to playing the ball with quicker reflexes (dare say 20/20 has helped this).

140kmh is the new 130kmh

thanks for the idea, but I don't know how to do the text.

 

[Drummond]

Rips through NSW with 4/49.

 

[HSSB]

Yeah I really think Dirk Nannes and Brett Geeves are ahead of Ben Cutting who took 6 wickets, if this happens 4 or 5 times in a season, then he should be looked at, but one good peformance doesn't mean someone should be playing for Australia.

 

[xyakks]

Saw him on Friday afternoon at the SCG against QLD day one. Batted just before and after the Tea break. Had a few nice shots, when he hits it it stays hit. Didn't look to stick around and hit out pretty much.

 

[the missing head]

not bad the kid, will be one to watch over the next 2-3 years...

From what I saw of him in the Big Bash he was getting around 140km/h so he can definitely hit the mark. If he does that in FC or can maintain that is another question.

Gun. 'nuff said

 

[Drummond]

Starting to deliver the goods once more. People forget how well this guy was going until a serious ankle injury struck.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Doesn't play for NSW, so irrelevant

Has produced more than Cummins ever has.

 

[Bucking Beads]

He is a better bowler than Pattinson, Hazelwood and Starc so if he stays fit he should be in with a shot. Plenty of opposition for fast bowling spots at the moment.

 

[Drummond]

His fine form continues.

Match figures of 7/94.

FC average down to 26.45.
