'He's A Greyhound...', Gillespie Feels Doggett Ready To Go If Selected For Ashes Opener
With Josh Hazlewood: Former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie said pacer Brendan Doggett is fully ready to step in if selected in the playing eleven for the first Ashes Test against England, starting on November 21 in Perth.
With Josh Hazlewood ruled out of the first Test due to a hamstring injury, Doggett, 31, is in line to become Australia’s 472nd Test cricketer. A Test debut in Perth will also make Doggett just the third Indigenous Australian to play Test cricket after Gillespie and Scott Boland.
"He's one of the quicker bowlers in Australia. Got a good motor, he's a greyhound and is as fit as a fiddle. He's ready to go. England will sniff an opportunity (without Cummins and Hazlewood), but I'm confident the Australian seam attack is good enough to get the job done," said Gillespie on ABC Radio on Sunday.
