Constantly injured.
Tall, operates around the mid 130s to early 140s and is fairly accurate.

He was on the verge of selection when Aus toured NZ last year.
He's been injured for the 6-8 months.
Ideally, Behrendorff and Paris should be in and around the set up.

Been very close on a number of occasions but after his first breakout season decided to build up strength to gain a bit more pace (to push for test selection) and then started having major back problems.
He's about Hazlewood's pace and height and swings the ball quite well though has been a bit of a new ball baby in the past.
He's got a brilliant record with the pink ball.

Paris is arguably the most talented bowler in the country but i've pretty much given up on him. Broke down three overs into his comeback a few weeks ago.
Mackin and Cameron Green are two really good prospects as well. Mackins 6'8 and pretty accurate and took back to back 10fers but Green is the real talent there.
Still only a teenager so is going to gain some pace as well.

I'm not sure.
Paris made his debut against India back in 15/16 I believe. Operates in the low 140s and swings the ball with immaculate accuracy.

It was him. Paris always played the champions league in India and then the Matadors and then broke down and missed the entire shield season.
Like three years in a row.

Will really have to work on his fitness. Was he there for the IPL auctions? Don't really see much of a career for him apart from being a Twenty20 specialist.

Jason Behrendorff took a career-best 3/63 as Australia sealed a 5-0 sweep of Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates recently, but the left-arm fast bowler knows his place in the squad for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 is far from certain.
Behrendorff has 14 wickets in a fledgling career of 13 limited-overs matches. Having made his one-day international debut at the start of the year against India at home and taken two wickets, he has since featured on the tours of India and the UAE.
However, with fellow left-armer Mitchell Starc expected to return for the World Cup, and given Australia's fast-bowling stocks, which include Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson and Nathan Coulter-Nile, Behrendorff knows his path to the flagship tournament won't be easy.
He hopes that performances, such as the one for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday, 3 April, will keep him "in front of selectors' minds". On IPL debut, the bowler took 2/22 against MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings, sending back opener Ambati Rayudu in the first over of a chase of 171 and then getting some help from a leaping Kieron Pollard in the deep to dismiss Suresh Raina.
"My spot is not certainly cemented down, that's for sure," he said after the match. "Any performance here can really help me out. My main strength is swinging the new ball up front and taking some wickets. It was good that I was able to do that tonight and keep that in front of selectors' minds that I'm still bowling and bowling well."
Behrendorff doesn't quite see himself competing with Starc for a place in the XI. "It's not foreign to have two left-armers in the team," he said. "Australia haven't done that a lot in the past, but I don't see why we can't do that.
"Mitch bowls exceptionally well at the death but can also bowl through the middle and up front, so it might be a case of if we're both picked in the same team having slightly different roles. I'll probably look to bowl up front and Mitch might bowl more through the middle and at the end.
"But yes, if we're both in the same side, it'll be quite exciting!"

Australian fast bowler Jason Behrendorff will undergo surgery to solve a recurring stress fracture in his lower back, and is set to miss the rest of the 2019-20 season.
Behrendorff was a part of Australia's campaign at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup earlier this year, where he took nine wickets in five games. Thereafter, he also featured for Sussex in the T20 Blast in England, but returned to Australia after his back problem resurfaced.
The 29-year-old has now decided to go under the knife in a bid to prolong his career. "Unfortunately I've had the same injury over the last few years and we've tried a number of things and the injury continues to return," he told cricket.com.au. "After a lot of thought and discussion we've decided that surgery is the best opportunity to find a more permanent fix."
Behrendorff has opted for the same surgery that James Pattinson, his fellow Australian pacer, underwent in 2017. The duo spoke in detail about the operation, and Pattinson's spirited comeback in the 2019 Ashes, where he claimed five wickets in two Tests, inspired Behrendorff to take the plunge.
"I'm feeling good about the surgery, I've spoken to a number of Aussie and Kiwi bowlers who've had a similar surgery and they were all very positive about the results," explained Behrendorff.
"We've seen how Patto has come back and played in the recent Ashes series, so maybe it'll give me a chance to do that. I've spoken to Patto and I've also spoken to Ben Dwarshuis, who's had a similar surgery done, and also Shane Bond.
"They've all been very complimentary with what they've had done and the way it's helped them continue to play cricket. Unfortunately, I've had the same over the last few years and if that is going to be an opportunity to have more of a permanent fix, I'm definitely going to look into it."

He showed some good signs but he was always a backup bowler for the Aussies. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

He has some good variations which is ideal for T20. He looks okay, but at 33 not sure we'll be seeing much more of him.

Australia quick battling to prove fitness before T20 World Cup
The left-armer has been ruled out of the upcoming IPL and is in doubt for June's T20 World Cup.
Australia pacer Jason Behrendorff faces a race against time to be fit for this year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup after he broke his leg at training.
Behrendorff was preparing for a stint in the Indian Premier League with the Mumbai Indians, but has since been ruled out of that tournament with a fractured left fibula and faces eight weeks on the sidelines.
It means Behrendorff will be battling to prove his fitness prior to the T20 World Cup, with Australia having to submit their final 15-player squad to the ICC before the tournament.
While Behrendorff has only played 17 T20Is for his country, the left-armer has impressed over the last six months during series against India on the sub-continent and the West Indies at home.
The 33-year-old was Australia's leading wicket-taker during the five-match series against India at the end of last year and then collected a wicket in each match against the Caribbean side on home soil last month.
While the likes of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins are expected to spearhead Australia's pace attack at the T20 World Cup, Behrendorff would have been in contention to make the trip prior to this setback on the basis of his good recent form.

Freak accident.
Don't think he will be a main bowler in World T20 though. Most likely will be a bench player (if he makes it).

Having successfully returned from an untimely injury, the uncontracted Jason Behrendorff is still eyeing off the 'pinnacle' of international cricket
Two titles, two torn-up contracts and one broken leg. Jason Behrendorff's life as a T20 freelancer has had an eventful start.
Considering he has a titanium cable coiled around his spine, Behrendorff's suggestion the fluke blow that torpedoed his World Cup hopes earlier this year was the most devastating of his career is not made lightly.
"It was probably the most angry and the most frustrated I've been after an injury, because it was so freakish, and it was so ridiculous," the 34-year-old told cricket.com.au. "Coming to terms with that was really hard."
In March, around a month after he played all three of Australia's home T20 Internationals against West Indies, Behrendorff was batting in the WACA nets when he lost sight of a ball coming out of a throwing 'flinger'.
It struck him on the full on the left leg, above his ankle, missing his pad and shoe. "It literally hit me flush and snapped my fibula," Behrendorff said. The knock came three days before he was due to fly out for the Indian Premier League where he was set to take up a A$135,000 deal with the Mumbai Indians.
As Australia's reigning T20 International cricketer of the year, Behrendorff had good reason to believe more strong returns could earn him a ticket to the Caribbean for the ensuing T20 World Cup.
"The feedback leading into the IPL was basically all the main bowlers in contention for that World Cup squad were playing in the IPL," he said.
"So that was a great chance to play well, put yourself in with a chance, and for me it was a case of, 'Well, I've got nothing to lose'.
"I know I'm not one of the top three to be included in the squad. There was myself and realistically you're looking at Nathan Ellis, Sean Abbott, Spencer Johnson – it was probably the four of us competing for the one or potentially two spots left.
"I was hopeful that I was going to get a chance and playing well in the IPL was a definitely a ticket to do that."
As it turned out, there was only one spot and it was Ellis who got it.
Behrendorff meanwhile had told WA high performance boss Kade Harvey and coach Adam Voges of his intention to forsake the final year of his state contract, freeing himself up to play in overseas short-form leagues.
In the space of a few weeks, he had gone from being an Australia, Western Australia and Mumbai Indians cricketer to essentially being none of those things.
Yet, in the still early days of the final chapter of the left-arm quick's career, Behrendorff remains as bullish on his future as ever.
For one, he has hardly been cut adrift by the state he had been contracted to for 15 years dating back to when he first crossed the Nullarbor from Canberra as a 19-year-old, and is expected to feature in WA’s opening round of One-Day Cup matches beginning next week.
It has been an adjustment, however. Behrendorff flew himself to Brisbane during his recovery from his leg fracture to bowl outdoors on turf during the winter, while his first two freelance 'projects' were somewhat off the beaten path.
His first assignment, four months after his unfortunate net injury, was in Sri Lanka's five-team Lanka Premier League where he was one of only two Australians featuring. After a slow start, he was the standout bowler in the final, helping Jaffna Kings lift the trophy.
Four days later, he was wearing another team's uniform (like Jaffna, this one was also blue) in his first game for the Toronto Nationals in the Global T20 Canada. Again he was on the winning side in the decider, this time earning player-of-the-match honours with a haul of 3-8.
"I say to this to people jokingly – but semi-seriously – I've started my freelance campaign two wins from two tournaments," Behrendorff said of the dual successes that came within three weeks of each other. "So if you want to win, pick me up!"
Behrendorff was one of four Western Australians with international experience (along with Marcus Stoinis, Ashton Agar and Andrew Tye) to opt out of a state deal this year.
He believes others will do the same across Australia as T20 leagues become a lucrative alternative to the traditional pathway.
Red-ball cricket has all but passed him by, Behrendorff admits, despite a return to that format being one of the goals of the radical back surgery he underwent in 2019. Adjusting his own expectations on what he plans to get out of the back-end of his career has been a challenge.
"I think there will be cases of (players giving up state deals) going forward, which is a tough one, because, especially in Australia, the pinnacle of what young kids dream about is wanting to wear the Baggy Green," said Behrendorff, whose 126 first-class wickets came at just 23.85.
"That's something I certainly struggled with when I was coming back from surgery in particular.
"But my mindset has shifted a bit in that space. Just because I haven't played Test cricket, does that mean I haven't had a successful career? I certainly don't think so.
"I look at what I've been able to do – I've played two formats for Australia, I've played professionally for the best part of 15 years.
"Everyone's view of success is different and I think that's something that, going forward, guys will start to think about. 'What does success look like for me? What do I want to achieve?' That's something that's a natural evolution of the way T20 cricket is now shaping our game."
But Behrendorff hopes bigger things have not passed him by. Left-armers who swing the ball at pace are always in demand and if not for generational speedster Mitchell Starc, he might well have played more than 29 matches for Australia. The pair played five games together at the 2019 World Cup, but only once since.
Both turn 36 in 2026, the year of the next T20 World Cup, in India and Sri Lanka. Behrendorff holds out hope he will be in the mix.
"I love playing cricket for Australia," he said. "I actually had a good chat with Andrew McDonald the other day about what it looks like over the next period of time, knowing that there's another World Cup in 18 months or so.
"To get any opportunity to play for Australia, I'll jump at it. That's the pinnacle … if Australia say 'Jase we want you to play, I'll be there in a heartbeat'."
