James Pattinson is back at last!

[Junaids]

We have all seen Australia try to manage without the injury-prone Pat Cummins and Tim Paine for most of the period 2011-2017.

But what is often overlooked is that James Pattinson is another superb cricketer who has missed most of that time with a succession of back injuries.

Some time ago he bit the bullet and underwent the same spinal fusion surgery as Shane Bond. And he gave up on his remodelled but but inferior bowling action.

The last four days we have had the world’s most important and high quality domestic cricket match - the Sheffield Shield Final.

And after a slow start to the season, Pattinson hit top form when it mattered most and took 7-71 to deliver the title to Victoria.

Australia has had five world class cricketers since the retirement of Ricky Ponting.

Two of them - Dave Warner and Steve Smith - have nobody but themselves to blame for their recent bans.

But now finally Pat Cummins and Tim Paine can be joined by James Pattinson in the Test Team:

Finally, after all these years, Australia might be able to field its five world-class players in the same team!

You getting excited about a strong Australian team at the World Cup?

 

[JattMaula]

Will he break down before I click post reply on this post?

 

[Junaids]

You getting excited about a strong Australian team at the World Cup?

No, he is far too important a player to take to the World Cup.

He will be held back for The Ashes, since that is the main event of the summer.

The World Cup is just a filler before the main event!

[Junaids]

It’s funny, isn’t it?

As an Englishman, I couldn’t really care less if Australia wins the World Cup again. It’s irrelevant, like winning the FA Cup.

The thing I fear is an Aussie Ashes Test attack in which all four of Starc-Hazlewood-Cummins-Pattinson play and get to rotate for short, fiery spells.

Pattinson’s brother played for England and James just demolished NSW with the Dukes Ball.

I fear him.

I know it’s hard for Asian people to understand, but this opinion is shared by 95%+ of Cricket fans in both England and Australia.

Just google any of today’s Australian newspaper stories about Pattinson’s Sheffield Shield Final.

Everybody is wondering whether he’s leaped into the Ashes squad. Nobody even thinks about the World Cup.

 

[Stewie]

I think you are giving a lot of unearned credit to Pattinson.
With or without him, England are still going to struggle because question marks over their bowling. Anderson and Broad are not forces they used to be and Stokes, Woakes, Wood have not been performing well at test level.

With Aussies batting back to full strength, things don’t look good for England.

I like how you forcefully mentioned yourself as an englishman when nobody even asked....

We dont care what you are mate , the world cup is the main event, not some test series

He does have a point.. in England people don’t care much about the World Cup. Its all about the ashes.

England fans are fully invested into this WC. I live in the UK and I can tell you winning the WC is just as important as winning the Ashes this year.

In that case, great!

I remember during the 99 World Cup, most people in England they interviewed didn’t even realize a World Cup was going on in their own country.

Trust me they are invested no matter what Junaids will tell you. Most fans , pundits,and even players are talking about doing the double and this being a golden summer for English cricket. Doesn't sound like a country who doesn't care about the WC.

 

[AFM]

I think he's right. Last time Australia won a Test series in England was 2001. They've won 3 out of the 4 World Cups that have happened since.

 

[leatherface58]

He does have a point.. in England people don’t care much about the World Cup. Its all about the ashes.

Is that why they radically changed their approach to ODIs and started playing way more ODIs since getting knocked out from 2015 WC in the first round?

England have played the most ODIs in 2018 and have the best record. They care about it a lot considering the moolah it rakes in.

Newsflash for YOU: No body cares about FA cup OR Premier league here in North America.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Tim Paine is a world class player? In what world?

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Good for him I guess? Nobody cares about Ashes outside Eng and Aus so irrelevant news

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Tim paine is nowhere near world class.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Eng-aussie superiority does not exists now. Ashes are usually boring.
A tournament with 2 teams can never be greater than one with 10 teams, but u are too arrogant to realise that eng and Australia are not anymore as important as they were.

Eng fans are more concerned about winning the world cup than ashes.

 

[Convict]

Junaids hates Australia and Australians so I don't understand why he needs to pretend to be excited.

 

[Ab Fan]

It's all easy to say but results speak for themselves.

England were blanked 0-4 in the previous Ashes, December 2017 and were also whitewashed 0-5 in 2013 away Ashes. So much of caring Ashes, they haven't been able to win a match and found it hard to draw a match in Australia as well.

In contrast, if we look at the way they changed their approach,their pitches and their game in limited overs after the debacle in 2015 WC, tells us that they do care a lot about LOs and a WC win matters a lot to them.

 

[Swashbuckler]

[MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] you don't need to repeat that you are Englishman in half your posts. I find such behaviour bizarre. Nobody cares where you are from, only the points you make in your posts matter.

Australia has produced 5 world class players post Ponting. But they are Smith, Warner, Cummins, Lyon, Hazlewood. Pattinson has done nothing to prove he is better than Starc who at least is a great ODI player with the added benefit of being 'Man of the Tournament' in a successful WC campaign. Tim Paine, well he hasn't scored a test 100 yet, I don't see how he is even better than Sarfaraz Ahmed or Saha presently. If you are world class, your numbers should show.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Is Tim Paine even remotely close to someone like Mushfiqur Rahim who has 12 international 100s? The Bangladeshi star has test 100s in India, West Indies, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, all of them coming for a weak side behind the eight ball. Will any foreign expert put his name alongside Smith, Warner, Cummins etc while judging his career/ability? How easy it is for the SENA players to be rated world class as opposed to the South Asians. Another example is the overrating of those who have poor records in Asia, like Rabada, Du Plessis, Anderson, Boult. Kohli failing in England was held against him from 2014 till 2018, Warner miserably failing in India every time barely warrants a mention. This Anglocentric approach to the sport has to go.

What say [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] ? Do you share the same opinion about Paine?

 

[giri26]

James Pattinson has been back for a while now and his bowling had not lost any sting since his comeback. He is still quick and his batting is a great bonus. It will not be long before Cummins and Pattinson are the main bowlers for Australia in Tests and ODI. Don't care who bowls in T20's

Both of them (Paine, Pattinson) could have been world class players, but didn't and Paine is at an age that he won't be either in future. Pattinson is also almost 29, but still has 3-4 years at peak left.

Ashes now days probably isn't the top cricket item even in ENG/AUS, so ...

 

[Junaids]

Just a quick Tim Paine comment.

He is by far the best glovesman in world cricket, even now after all his surgery.

As [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] says, he will now never reach his batting potential due to both the plates in his hands and his advanced age.

But whereas Mushfiqur and De Kock are basically both “Batsman/Goalkeeper”, Paine is a superb wicketkeeper and terrific leader who can bat.

And when you have Pattinson at 8; and Starc at 9, you can afford a specialist wicketkeeper.

How to manage Patto for Ashes impact

Victoria coach Andrew McDonald has delivered a rousing endorsement of James Pattinson's credentials as an Ashes match-winner, but tempered it with a warning for Australia's selectors: he might only have two Tests in him.

McDonald believes Pattinson is among the best fast bowlers when in full flight, having successfully managed the injury-riddled Victorian through the state's triumphant Shield campaign this season.

The 17-Test quick with wire holding his lower back together exploded in the final against NSW, collecting 7-71 for the match to lead the Vics to their fourth title in five seasons and take his season tally up to 26 at 18.92.

His return also saw him take a further step towards his stated goal of playing in this year's Ashes.

But while McDonald believes Pattinson is capable of replicating his dominance in Test cricket again, he cautioned that his successful return to Shield ranks during the summer was partially down to his role as an impact player not saddled with an overly heavy bowling workload.

"I think he's a two-Test player, but he could win you those two Test matches," McDonald said on SEN radio's Whateley program.

"When he plays, Australia's odds increase greatly in terms of winning the Test match. But we can't get overexcited in terms of what his body can cope with.

"We played him seven games this summer, 150-odd overs in seven games and really managed him throughout the summer."

Pattinson's capability with the bat saw him moved up to No.7 for the majority of the season, managing 163 runs at 18, with McDonald suggesting "the jury is out" on whether he could be a full-fledged Test allrounder just yet.

The 28-year-old will have the chance to further push his Ashes case as he returns to play for Nottinghamshire in the coming weeks, following a dominant stint with the club two seasons ago in which he took an extraordinary 32 wickets at 12.02 in just five first-class games.

That came six months before Pattinson had to go under the knife for severe back surgery in November 2017.

The recent Shield final was the first time he'd bowled at full pace since returning, according to McDonald.

If fit, the likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, along with newcomer Jhye Richardson, are the likely frontrunners for Test fast-bowling berths come August.

But McDonald believes Pattinson, if let loose on livelier pitches, could be a weapon.

"I think he would be an intimidating factor for the English batsman to overcome," the four-Test former allrounder continued.

"If the conditions are right and the game is a quick game in terms of wickets falling regularly because of the surface … (is) a little bit green, which I'm predicting England may do in some Test matches, I think you can go in with three (quicks, including Pattinson) and one (spinner)."

"Because the length of the game would potentially only be three-and-a-half or four days.

"If it was a flatter surface you pick him on, then definitely it'd have to be part of a four-man pace attack (for Pattinson to play). I think the surface would dictate what the formation of the line-up would be.

"Pick your moments and he can be a match-winner in those couple of Test matches.

"(But) if he has to (bowl) heavy overs on flat surfaces, I think that's an accelerated process to potentially injuring him again."

Good to see him back for the first Ashes Test!

I’m excited!

Cummins and Pattinson are just thrilling to watch.

And they can get people out with a ball that hasn’t been messed around with.

 

[Hasan123]

Will be interesting to watch him bowl. Had the potential and still does to be a better bowler in tests than Starc.

 

[sweep_shot]

He definitely is a great replacement for Starc.

Starc, Cummins, Pattinson, Hazlewood - that's a brilliant attack.

'I don't think I can do much': Surgeon doubted James Pattinson could return from injury

James Pattinson has revealed the surgeon who rescued his career initially told the Australian quick to accept his career was probably over.

The Victorian made an emotional Test comeback after a three-year absence in the 251-run over England at Edgbaston last week, helping the tourists take a 1-0 Ashes series lead.

The 29-year-old, who debuted in 2011, has endured a stop-start career with stress fractures in his back restricting him to just 18 appearances which have yielded 72 wickets at a healthy average of 29.15.

After breaking down again in a Test against New Zealand three years ago, Pattinson visited world-renowned back specialist Grahame Inglis, the man who salvaged the careers of Kiwi quicks Shane Bond and Matt Henry, but was told he was too late.

"The guy in New Zealand initially said: 'look, I don't think that I can do much. Your back looks like it is too far gone'," Pattinson told The Final Word podcast.

"That was fairly tough news to take as I thought I was going to have maybe an one-day career or play a few T20s, to (thinking) I might not ever get back to first-class cricket.

"There was a fair bit of contemplation over that month and then he said: 'well, if you are willing to take the risk, even if I can make a 15 per cent difference in it, then it might be just what you need to put you on the park'."

Pattinson spoke in depth with Bond about the procedure which included screws and wires being used to bind his L4 vertebrae, which was also supplemented by bone grafted from his hip.

Bond's advice gave him confidence he could fully recover but he had to privately come to terms with the fact that he may never bowl again.

"Having people who have had that experience to talk to is great and really helped me through that phase," he said.

"I remember initially they booked me on a flight three days after my surgery and I couldn't roll out of bed.

"I was getting the nurse to shower me and that sort of thing. I spent two weeks over in New Zealand and I was a week in hospital then another in a hotel room.

"At that stage I was married and the support from my wife was really good. I've always kept things pretty realistic and kept my mates close from back home.

"For me cricket has not always been everything. I had in my head that if things didn't go right with cricket, I would move into something else."

Pattinson's road back to international cricket has been treated with caution by Australia's medical staff, and he was rested for the second Test at Lord's in an effort to keep him fresh for the third Test next week in Leeds.

The 29-year-old admits in the past he'd have tried to play through any pain and that learning to manage his body has been something he's had to come to terms with.

"As a young bloke it's hard to say no sometimes," Pattinson admitted.

"Looking back on those sorts of Tests, if I had my time again I probably would have taken longer at that stage."

"That's why we're always in constant communication now with the selectors after Test matches, how you pull up, how do you think you'll go this game.

"That's the beauty of having so many bowlers available now and that's what they've been wanting for ages, that opportunity for bowlers not at 100% we don't have to risk that, we can have someone come in and do just as good a job."

[MenInG]

A fit and firing James Pattinson has revealed he is feeling better than ever as he looks towards the first Test against Pakistan at the Gabba.

Pattinson came out of the recent Ashes series without injury and believes it has him set for one of his most promising summers yet.


The Victorian fast-bowler took five wickets across his two matches in the Ashes, at an average of 33.40.

It was a solid return to the Test arena for Pattinson, but he knows what he needs to get a consistent opportunity at that level.

"I think the next process for me if I do get another chance in the Test arena is trying to play more back-to-back cricket now," Pattinson said to reporters on Monday.

"Obviously coming back into the team from being out for three years, the next process is to play back-to-back cricket.

"That's the next progression if I do get a chance back in the Test team."

Only playing two Tests in the Ashes was part of the Australian rotation plan, with selectors not wanting to place too much pressure on Pattinson's injury-prone body.

However, he believes the series has shown he has what it takes to be playing cricket consistently.

"I've been injury-free for the most part of a year now and the body is feeling good," Pattinson said.

"When I got back from England I didn't know what to do because I'd usually be nursing a stress fracture or something like that.

"To rock up, have four days off and bowl again I was like 'what's this all about?'

"I think it's things like that where you pinch yourself a little bit and go 'this is good'."

Pattinson has now played 19 tests for Australia, taking 75 wickets at an average of 26.64.

They're numbers the 29-year-old quick plans on improving, insisting that his best cricket could still be ahead of him.

"Things are starting to line up a little bit," Pattinson said.

"Still not being 30 yet, I've still hopefully got a lot of cricket left.

"I think that's the enjoying part, when you're injured it's really hard to enjoy the game, but when you're constantly playing cricket and stuff like that, it's always enjoyable.

"You always get up for it, so that's the pleasing thing for me."

Pattinson will turn out for Victoria in their Sheffield Shield match against Queensland at the MCG on Tuesday.

It will be the last chance for a number of Test hopefuls to impress national selectors before the first Test against Pakistan on November 21.

He missed Victoria's last game, a loss to Tasmania, but captain Peter Handscomb insists his fast-bowling weapon is ready to go.

"He is flying mate, he didn't want to miss the last game," Handscomb said on RSN radio on Monday.

"His body is strong, he wants to keep playing every possible game he's available for so he'll come out and bowl the house down."

[BalluBalleBaaz]

Played against Patto in juniors. He always stood out in premier cricket. Even as a young 17 year old, everyone in the circuit kind of knew he would play for the National team pretty soon. He battled with injury but came back stronger. Hard as nails this bloke!

Easy does it for Pattinson ahead of battle for Test recall

Spoiler

Test aspirant James Pattinson will have a more conservative lead-in to the series opener against Pakistan this week after his heaviest workload since his return from a career-threatening injury prompted a change in plan.

Pattinson, 29, delivered a robust 48 overs across Victoria's two Sheffield Shield innings against Queensland at the MCG - more than some insiders had anticipated - meaning he will deliver fewer overs in the Gabba nets in his bid to force his way back in the XI ahead of Thursday's first Test.

The aggressive fast bowler is jostling left-armer Mitchell Starc and Queenslander Michael Neser for a spot alongside Pat Cummins and almost certainly Josh Hazlewood in a three-man pace battery, with the home side unlikely to field four quicks.

The 14-man Australian squad arrived in Brisbane on Saturday, and is slated to have its first training session at the national cricket centre on Monday.

Pattinson has made it clear he feels he is ready to play in back-to-back Tests, having been nursed through the winter Ashes tour when he managed two Tests in his comeback from major back surgery.

Alex Kountouris, Cricket Australia's head of medicine and sports science, said Pattinson was likely to be eased through this week after a heavy output against the Bulls.

"There is still a bit of time (before the Test). All that means (at the MCG) is he has bowled a lot of overs. Say, he bowled 30 overs in that game (against the Bulls), his preparation would be different to him bowling 50 overs," he said.

"It's probably what he bowls in the first Test, if he plays, that is going to impact whether he plays in the second Test and how he pulls up. We haven't seen him, so it depends how he pulls up from his 50 overs. He will have a longer recovery period and be managed through the next week."

In his two previous Shield matches, Pattinson had delivered 31 overs - in only one innings - against Western Australia, and 29 - again in one innings - against South Australia.

In his two Tests against England, he served up 30 overs at Leeds and 35 overs at Birmingham.

The first Test is slated to end on Monday week, with the second - and final - clash against Pakistan, under lights in Adelaide, beginning on Friday week.

Should Pattinson play in Brisbane - he feels he is unlikely to - he will need to prove beyond doubt that he has pulled up well and that it is in the best interests of himself and the team to play in back-to-back Tests. His workload against the Bulls could complicate his plans.

"There are lots of little markers that you can pick up. Hopefully, he plays the first Test, gets through it. That's a good problem to have," Kountouris said.

The Australians will not want to risk Pattinson considering not only his history of back problems but also because the three-Test series against New Zealand begins in Perth nine days later.

Pattinson's return to health has meant Australia has arguably the most feared pace attack in world cricket, particularly when it comes to playing on home shores.

The Gabba deck remains the favourite of many of the Australian players because of the pace and bounce it provides, and was even Shane Warne's favourite because of the extra bounce it gave his leg spin.

There are calls for Cummins, ranked Test cricket's No.1 bowler and the reigning Allan Border medallist, to take the new ball. He has been eased through the early part of the season, having played in all 10 World Cup matches and the five Ashes Tests in England. He rediscovered reverse swing in the shield clash against Western Australia at the SCG, this coming inside 15 overs.

"The good thing is it was only six or seven weeks ago I was playing the Ashes, so I don't feel like I'm trying to re-learn anything," Cummins said.

Test paceman James Pattinson succumbs to back soreness, ruled out of Australia A side for England Lions

Victorian paceman James Pattinson has been withdrawn from this week’s Australia A match against the England Lions at the MCG with lower back and hip soreness.

The Australian fast bowler, who played the last two Test matches against New Zealand, reported soreness after playing grade cricket and following a medical assessment has been ruled out of the match.

Queensland quick Mark Steketee replaces Pattinson in the attack having been part of the Bulls 10-wicket win over Tasmania at the Gabba, with Blues quick Harry Conway coming into the squad.

Steketee will team up with Michael Neser, this time for Australia A, following their performance in the win against Tasmania. The pair are joined by in-form Tasmanian quick in Jackson Bird and Queensland leg spinner Mitchell Swepson in the squad.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cummins was expected to pick up more injuries on his return.
