Not all bad news for Aus though, as Cummins is looking extremely good!!!

Look out for Ben Cutting too. Best bowler in Aus atm, and assuming he keeps it up and goes well in the upcoming Australia A games, there will be a spot for him.

Look at Cutting's dirty average and strike rate so far this season. Likely replacement for Johnson.

He's been picking up some wickets, scored some quick crucial runs too! Jade Herrick looks a good bet for the future too, Peter George as well. Poor state of affairs when your best spinner is Xavier Doherty though...

Im a big fan of the Mighty Hash, absolute class player with a fantastic temprament and will be the ideal replacement for Kallis. I do think that he could do without his magnificent beard.

The beard is all part of it though Previn! The man's a hero, that adds to the charm! Haha

Isnt it to do with being devoutly religious though? Don't want to seem ignorant but isn't he/wasn't he the first south African Muslim cricket?

Hashim is Muslim and quite devouted Muslim and beard is part of Religion rather than for anything else really.

You will also notice that on Wayne (Waleed) Parnell, Imran Tahir and Hashim Amlas kit there is not 'CASTLE' logo because that is alcohol brand and for Muslim alcohol is not premitted, they are not told to drink but that money is not acceptable for them and if I'm correct I don't think they get any payments from sponsors.

Amla is sheer class, a total pro and a thoroughly nice guy to boot. Ponting on the other hand...

I must say he is probably most improved player ever, when he made his debut he was not that good but afterwords he became world class :)

Humble dude too. He kneels in thanks every time he drinks water on the field.

Just the type of peaceful, gentle Muslim our governments don't want us to see!
