Australia's bowlers show batsmen how to step up
Should Australia's batsmen require some advice about stepping into the shoes of Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they could do far worse than look across to the other side of the dressing room.
While Phillip Hughes has been up at night thinking about the idea of replacing the seemingly irreplaceable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Test team's fast bowlers have learned how to step up when asked. If the rotation or management of fast bowlers has been the source of some consternation among some former players, portions of the public and shriller segments of the media, it has also added to the collective poise of the battery at Australia's disposal.
Instead of wondering aloud how they could possibly improve on the sort of high-quality bowling produced by the likes of James Pattinson, Ryan Harris, Ben Hilfenhaus and Peter Siddle at times over the past 18 months, Mitchell Starc,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mitchell Johnson, and most recently Jackson Bird have stepped up to their tasks with increasing confidence. All the time they have been reassured to keep doing what put them in the team in the first place - the sort of simple advice the batsmen will need to hold close as they set about the task of covering for Hussey's loss after the SCG Test.
"We've gone through a lot of players and had a lot of success with it," Siddle said on New Year's Day. "I think we've shown in the past 18 months that when blokes go out whether it's injury or resting, the blokes that come in can perform and do well whether it's their first Test or 49th. Like Mitch [Johnson] last week, it doesn't matter if they come in, they're ready to go. And it's a strength.
"There are a lot of games of cricket and we've got a busy Test match period coming up, which is going to put a lot of pressure on all the bowlers. But I think by having that backing by the blokes on the side,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the reserves, we can keep being competitive and very competitive, as we've shown."
At 24, Hughes has the experience of 19 Tests to call on, but remains an aspirant to the level of consistency shown by Hussey and captain Michael Clarke this summer. He admitted to thinking of how often the aforementioned duo had saved the blushes of other members of the top six across the Tests against South Africa and Sri Lanka,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and has resolved to build his mastery of No. 3.
"I was actually thinking the other night the partnerships they've been getting through the summer, they've been unbelievable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Hughes said. "But in saying that, it's now all about us stepping up just a little bit more. I've been in and out of the team for a few years now and I suppose I've got a few caps behind me now so I'm a little bit experienced.
"I really want to make this three position my own. I'd really love to hold that spot going forward and I suppose everyone has to step up now. [Ponting's] been unbelievably consistent now for years, so it's about us all being really consistent and going to the next level."
Next to Clarke and the seasoned reservist Johnson, Siddle's 36 Tests will make him Australia's third-most experienced Test player when Hussey's career concludes. While Siddle admitted to feeling a little "weird" about his advance in seniority,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he also reasoned that he had spent enough time in and out of the team to learn what worked for him, allowing him to impart knowledge and advice to others.
"Looking back now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when I came in at 23, you do go about things differently," Siddle said. "You think it's pretty cruisey and you're happy with we're you're at, but it does hit you a few times when you get dropped or you're told some home truths about how you're really going or really looking. It has only been the last few years I've started to concentrate a lot more and work a lot harder.
"Last year I benefited from all that work I put in and actually concentrating a bit harder on what I had to do to be a professional cricketer and play at the highest level. Sometimes those little hiccups along the way sometimes do help if you take it the right way and go about changing those things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"I just want to see the young boys do as well as they can when they first come in and keep doing as well as they can. I want them to learn from my mistakes of being a bit lazy when I first came in and taking it easy. I probably wouldn't have starc and johnson in the same team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], same with bird and hilfenhaus, although siddle and pattinson can be great together. I actually think Johnson and Starc should be rotated from game to game, it'll help keep starc from injury until he matures a bit more, and it will keep Johnson keen. Understand what you are saying but I ask you to look at his figures this season. Finally, after showing so much promise he is delivering on that talent. I have been watching him for nearly 8 years have cringed by his failure to deliver on his undoubted talents. He isn't quite ready yet, he needs to keep going, a season in county and he'll be the real deal. An excellent fielder to boot. His batting, believe me is all class, much, much better, technically than his bowling. Agree with McDonald, his bowling, while steady, would hardly be enough to rip through teams. Henriques has done that where the conditions helped (overcast, English like conditions at the Gabba believe it or not). The problem with most of Australia's allrounders- Butterworth, Faulkner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Cutting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Henriques, Mitch Marsh- is that they are bowling allrounders, whereas Australia's need is for a batting allrounder. To me, the best allrounder in Aus cricket at the moment (assuming Watson is a batsman only from now on) is Andrew MacDonald, with a FC average of almost 40 and a bowling average of 28. I'm still not convinced he's good enough at either discipline to be a test player, but if an allrounder is picked I think it should be him. I have a lot of time for Hilfy thought he would go well in England, but the one day length he has dropped into won't go away that worries me. Understand Harris is 33, but he will always only be used as a backup if one of the spearheads is out. I am with you on Cutting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the selectors have shown their hand with him as well. But in Siddle, Pattinson, Starc, Bird, with Hazelwood int he wings, it does look rosy. And if Henriques keeps his form up, he should be ready to slot into the #6 allrounder role perfectly. I just don't think there's any chance of him being ready for the Ashes series in England. I'm not so sure you're right about Hilf. He was the best Aus bowler in the 2009 series and he is well-suited to English conditions. I'd have him in my squad. I don't think Cutting is test material unless the selectors are determined to pick someone as an allrounder even if he doesn't do either well enough to be considered as a specialist. Hazlewood is very much on the radar and in a year or two I think he'll be right up there. At 33 , he's at the end of his career. I can't see taking him to England.
Assistant editor Daniel Brettig had been a journalist for eight years when he joined ESPNcricinfo, but his fascination with cricket dates back to the early 1990s, when his dad helped him sneak into the family lounge room to watch the end of day-night World Series matches well past bedtime. Unapologetically passionate about indie music and the South Australian Redbacks, Daniel's chief cricketing achievement was to dismiss Wisden Almanack editor Lawrence Booth in the 2010 Ashes press match in Perth - a rare Australian victory that summer.
