David Warner and 18-year-old speedster Pat Cummins could provide the fireworks Australia need to win their Twenty20 series in South Africa, according to skipper Cameron White.
White claims Warner, who scored two unbeaten centuries for NSW in the T20 Champions League in India, will benefit from having match competition ahead of the two-game T20 series that starts in Cape Town on Friday morning.
White says he can't wait to see Cummins in the flesh after the youngster took 4-45 for the Blues in last week's semi-final loss to Bangalore.The standout's probably David Warner," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted White, as telling a press conference in Cape Town.
"He's had some good success against the Proteas before, one memorable game at the MCG a couple of years ago (89 off 43 balls on debut at the MCG in January 2009).He's one of many dangerous batsmen that we have. That's a good thing, coming off a real match and hardened competition."
White says he watched the uncapped Cummins in action in the Champions League and couldn't take his eyes off the explosive pacer.
"It's pretty exciting. I saw him play a couple of games on TV. Anyone who bowls at 150 (km/h), it's really good to watch. Those type of players, they keep you really interested in the game. You do get a bit excited," White said. (ANI)
