Teenage fast bowler Patrick Cummins has burst on the scene so quickly that Australia Twenty20 captain Cameron White has not yet seen him in action.Its pretty exciting. I saw him bowl in a couple of games on television. Anyone who bowls at 150 (kilometres an hour) is pretty good to watch, White said Sunday at an arrival media conference ahead of two Twenty20 internationals against South Africa.Im not a big cricket watcher on TV when Im not playing but those kind of players keep you really interested in the game, added White of the 18-year-old from New South Wales.I havent played with Pat before so Im really looking forward to seeing him in the flesh and out on the ground. Hes got some really good pace.Cummins and several other Australians will have to make a quick adjustment after playing in the Champions League T20 in India ahead of the first match against South Africa at Newlands here on Thursday.The second match is at the Wanderers in Johannesburg next Sunday.Australian Twenty20 squad: Cameron White (capt), Shane Watson, Doug Bollinger, Patrick Cummins, Aaron Finch, David Hussey, Brett Lee, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Stephen OKeefe, James Pattinson, Steven Smith, Matthew Wade (wkt), David Warner.
