Bradman Young Cricketer: Australia’s fast-bowling legend Brett Lee believes young tearaway pacer Lance Morris reminds him a lot of the time when current Australia skipper Pat Cummins was a youngster.

Last year, Morris won the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year at the Australian Cricket Awards and has now earned a call-up to Australia’s Test squad for the first Test against Pakistan at Perth starting from December 14.

“He actually reminds a lot of a young Pat Cummins. That's a massive rap because ‘Cummo’ first came & burst on the scene back when he was about 17 years of age as the boy from Penrith with big blue eyes who was excited to bowl fast. He was like a sponge.”
