Alysum
U19 Debutant
Having made his test and odi debuts in Bangladesh. Cullen is tipped as the spinner to take over Warnie later.
While I believe he has talent and a good stock delivery, I have questions over his bowling variations; I haven't seen any top spinners, arm balls or doosras.
Other interesting thing is his average whether it's test, odi or even first class, aren't really good at all. I know it's only the beginning...but perhaps he's better off getting a few more years with S.A then get into the ODI side after the WC when Hogg retires and in the test side in a few years when MacGill and Warnie are gone.
Also his bowling stance, the way he holds the ball till he bowls it, isn't that a bit too indicative for the batsman to what he is going to ball? (stock ball grip)
What do you think?
