Australia's opponents have been warned of an impending bouncer barrage from rising speedster Pat Cummins as the paceman has claimed that he would be at his menacing best during the knockout stages in the ongoing World Cup.
Describing the Adelaide wicket as one of the quickest, Cummins believes that it would favour them as a few of the senior Australian bowlers are trying to bowl quicker.
Ahead of their quarterfinal tie against Pakistan in Adelaide, Cummins said that the bouncer is really important, especially when all their games are in Australia.
The pace bowler insisted that one could bowl two of them an over and if one executes it well it could be a dot ball, which especially towards the end of an innings could be gold, News.com.au reported.
Cummins insisted that bouncer was definitely something they were going to continue using throughout the tournament.
