I think he is a decent long term prospect but it is a waste of time taking him to India. They should have picked Hayden or Jaques to keep the heat on Katich, the opening position is about the only debatable one left to fill for the WC.Mister Wright said:Meh...Cullen is not a very good bowler. If he gets a game I will be surprised, I'll be even more surprised if he does well.
It's simple. He struggles to take wickets, why is he even in the Australian frame? It is ridiculous.Great Birtannia said:I think he is a decent long term prospect but it is a waste of time taking him to India.

Yeah, pretty much completely agreed.Mister Wright said:Meh...Cullen is not a very good bowler. If he gets a game I will be surprised, I'll be even more surprised if he does well.
Phew! I thought I'd be the only one...andyc said:Yeah, pretty much completely agreed.
So all of last season when he wasn't getting wickets against the top order and had to wait until about his 30th over and then took cheap tailend wickets he was bowling without luck?pietersenrocks said:I think its a good decision Cullen is a good bowler he was bowling well but the luck wasn't there.
A poor decision, but won't make a difference. I would be surprised if he gets a game as we all know that Hogg is a much better bowler..James said:
James Hopes or Cameron could have been called up instead.Perm said:No offense to Moises Henriques but I know that Australia do really want to win the Champions Trophy and by taking somebody like Henriques they would be weakening their chances. This is not the time to blood an Under 19 player at International level, they need to pick a player who could really perform for them and not someone as untested as Henriques.
make it three here, i hope he comes good and i'm sure you do as well since when Warne, MacGill & Hogg goes Australia's spin resources will be very limitied at both levels of the game.Mister Wright said:Phew! I thought I'd be the only one...
The way people go out of their way to support these young guys just because they are young borders on ridiculous. Good to know there are some out there who still value players on their performances and not their age.
He definately seem to be a young prodigy in the making but unlike some of the Asian countries especially Australia wont normally expose such players that early.brockley said:I would have preffered if they took a development player like moises henriques.
Totally agree. Not much value with him barely playing in India when he could be getting both one day and first class experience back in Australia.Prince EWS said:Cullen would have been much, much better off staying in Australia and playing some domestic first class cricket.
