PATTINSON ALL SET TO BRING THE STORM!



The six years since James Pattinson last bowled against England have been a soul-crushing treadmill of injuries, rehab and dashed expectations but the patched-up pacemen is again daring to dream on the verge of the Ashes.
"I knew that if I was up and running, string a few games on the pitch, that I would have every chance of getting picked in an Ashes team," he told reporters at Australia’s base in Southampton.
Pattinson has mostly been a reluctant witness through it all, adding only five tests to his record, the last against New Zealand in 2016. His six-wicket haul against Brendon McCullum’s side in Christchurch helped Australia claim a seven-wicket victory and revived memories of his explosive entry into tests when he claimed 14 wickets in his first two matches against New Zealand in 2011.

It was on 29th December when the outcome of the boxing day test match between India and Australia was predicted , with 399 to chase and half of the side back in pavilion one would have easily thought that the test match would easily finish on day 4 but there was one player who being a bowler was playing the role of all rounder and was trying to take the attack to the opposition. It was none other than Patrick James Cummins who was batting on 60* after bowling a spell of 6-11 , he was doing everything that a captain could ask for, with Nathan Lyon supporting him at the other end the pair had almost snatched victory from the jaws of defeat but unfortunately hosts went on to lose the second test match.                                    The only positive for Australia from this tour was the phenomenal form of Nathan Lyon and Patrick James Cummins who took 14 wickets and scored 138 runs ...
