LIFE IN THE FAST LANE After a stellar 2019, young quick bowler Pat Cummins is champing at the bit to get back on the pitch and back on the road to greatness.
C OV E R S TO RY
WORDS BEN MCKELVEY STYLING DANNIELLE CARTISANO
A
According to the International Cricket Council, Pat Cummins is the best Test cricketer in the world, period, and already one of the best bowlers in the history of the game. He may be in a position to become an all-time cricketing great, but he’s also just a regular 27-year-old bloke who loves sport. One or both of those reasons are why, when I met Pat just after the Sydney coronavirus lockdown ended, we talked a lot about the defining text of the early COVID period, The Last Dance, a Netflix series that’s ostensibly about the career and life of basketballer Michael Jordan, but also a long form study into what it takes to become a great athlete. Not a good athlete, but a great, transcendent, era-defining household name of an athlete; a Jordan, Williams or Ali – or perhaps a Ponting, Warne or McGrath, three cricketers whose careers Cummins is planning to emulate. “Seven or eight Ashes, multiple World Cups… win everything you can many times,” Cummins says, stirring a cappuccino. These are the things Cummins wants to have done by the time his career ends. While we spoke briefly about the ends, we spoke expansively about the means and this is what brought us to Jordan, with whom Cummins admits he shares some traits – the most important being a competitive streak that’s both utilitarian and nuclear powered, and which was fostered at a young age. “As a family, we’d watch Test cricket in the morning and in the afternoon we’d play backyard cricket with my brothers and my dad,” he says. “That’s where I learned the game. In backyard cricket, age doesn’t matter. I had to try to beat them and I judged myself against them.” Up against bigger, stronger and more experienced brothers, Cummins had to be smarter, more strategic. He’d have to think

about their weaknesses and his strengths and how both could work in his favour. “When I bowled, I was constantly problem-solving. After every ball, as I walk back, I’ve got my checklist. ‘How’d my action feel?’ ‘What’s the batter trying to do now?’ ‘How am I trying to get him out?’’’ he says. “That’s all subconscious when I play now.” He was always one of the better players on the pitch as a junior, but not a player that “really stuck out” until a growth spurt at age 16 lifted the roof of his potential – adding the devastating and essential tool of raw speed to his strategic arsenal. “Being able to take the handbrake off and bowl fast
“Things are good. Life is good.”

felt awesome as a young bloke,” he says. “With a bit of pace I knew I could always scare [the batsmen] and that could be useful.” At 18, he became the second youngest Australian Test debutant in history. The next few years of his career tracked at a regular pace, with high points but a few low points, too; after multiple injuries kept him sidelined, Cummins had to train and condition his action to prevent further injury. Then came one of cricket’s biggest scandals in recent memory: during a Test match in South Africa, Cummins thought he had a shot of winning the match for his side when he looked up at the big screen and saw footage of teammate Cameron Bancroft rubbing the ball with a tiny patch of yellow sandpaper. Using spit and dirt to shine one side of the ball and rough up the other to create swing is pretty standard practice, but using a foreign substance like sandpaper just isn’t cricket and Cummins knew the ramifications would be extreme. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called it “a shocking disappointment”. The three players involved were not offered Cricket Australia contracts for the 2018-2019 cricket season and, as an internal cultural review was undertaken, the Australian Test team had to rebuild with an internationally tarnished reputation. This was a strange time for the team and especially for the quicks like Cummins. Traditionally, fast bowlers have a bit of attitude in them when they’re on the pitch, but for those in the Australian Test team this was not a time for bad behaviour. But Cummins wasn’t willing to prostrate himself or be meek when he was wearing the baggy green either – someone had to lead and play with fire or what was the point in competing? “I listen to feedback but I don’t listen to everything. I don’t want to live my life and just pander and do what everyone else wants me to do.” In January 2019, Cummins and Travis Head were named co-vice-captains of the Test team. It was quickly apparent that the responsibility of leadership suited him, and this was to be the start of an historically great year. He snared 59 wickets in the calendar year (14 more than any other bowler in the world). Not only was he proving an excellent Test bowler, his batting was showing flashes of brilliance, and his form in the short game was magnificent, too.

Accordingly, last December Cummins garnered a record contract to play in India’s IPL T20 competition – $3.17 million for the season, which ends up being about a quarter of a million per game, or $10,000 per ball. One month later, he was named ICC Test Player of the Year and true greatness beckoned. It had been Cummins’ year, but 2020 looked perhaps even brighter, and certainly more lucrative. Then the pall of corona fell on Cummins, as it did on everyone, and he is now at home in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, spending quality time with his British fiancée Becky Boston and their dog, Norman. “Things are good. 10

Life is good,” says Cummins. “But I do hope we get to play soon.” He tells me his pet peeve is “people who whinge about things they can sort out themselves” and while Cricket Australia has announced some international cricket set to happen in Australia this year, I ask him what he’ll do if there isn’t any more international cricket this year. “I don’t know. There has to be a way.” Greatness doesn’t accept circumstance. I also ask about the postponed goldmine that is the upcoming IPL season that could pay Cummins a million dollars every four games. “That I will definitely get to. I’ll swim if I have to,” he says. You wouldn’t bet against it.

MUST SEE
MARGARET RIVER
WA
ADELAIDE HILLS
SA
It’s a short but stunning drive to the Adelaide Hills. Bypass the tourists in Hahndorf and go straight to Mount Lofty House (book an Escarpment Suite – trust us) to drop off your bags before you zig-zag around the region sampling everything great on offer: Karrawatta Winery for the views, Ngeringa for the biodynamic pét-nat and The Summertown Aristologist for a lunch to brag about.
You don’t have to be a slave to the surf to enjoy Margaret River, though it helps. Busselton to Gnarabup may take just an hour when driving Caves Road along the coast but the number of surf checks, snack stops (see: Wild Hop Brewing Company) and winery detours (like Aravina Estate) promises to make it a long day.

MOLLYMOOK
NSW
A 3.5-hour drive from Sydney, take the scenic route to Mollymook across the Sea Cliff Bridge – nab the passenger seat to really enjoy the view. Take a lunch break at Scarborough Hotel (or for a speedier pit stop, Hayden’s Pies in Ulladulla has a cult following for good reason) before you check in to Bannisters by the Sea. Reserve a table at Rick Stein’s for the requisite summer seafood feast.
If the salty sea breeze ruffling your hair is not really how you do summer, perhaps a hike through Tasmania’s ancient Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park might satisfy. Refuel at Derwent Bridge Wilderness Hotel before calling it at night at the super luxe but secluded Pumphouse Point Retreat. You’ve earned it.
TR AV E L
ELECTRIC FEEL E-vehicles are quickly coming to not only a point of maturation but of exhilaration, too. These four prove that things morally good can also be very good fun.
FOR THE TECH EVANGELIST
TESLA MODEL 3 It’s often said that Tesla is a computer engineering company that happens to make cars and that’s obvious as soon as you open the door of this, the most affordable Tesla available in Australia. Satellite navigation, streaming audio, voice recognition and automobile data is all perfectly integrated into the driving experience. So, too, are power and control, which a Model 3 has in spades. The Tesla is the car that will get you to the future fastest.
FOR THE LUXURIANT
AUDI E-TRON
FOR THE FAMILY MAN
Sporting the same virtual cockpit and advanced multimedia systems as in its luxury Q5 and Q7, the e-tron’s interior experience is a cut above. As is its raw power stakes, with front and rear electric motors contributing to face-melting acceleration and top speeds. With a range of nearly 500km per charge, it will turn heads on country roads, if bystanders see you at all.
HYUNDAI KONA EV HIGHLANDER
FOR YOU
HARLEY-DAVIDSON LIVEWIRE
The Kona EV Highlander is an excellent family touring vehicle not only because of the impressive range (roughly 450km per charge) and no-nonsense automation but also because of the incredible stillness that is felt while driving this mid-sized SUV. Yes, the electric Highlander is a full $30,000 more expensive than the petrol version, but the incredible glide and preternatural silence in the vehicle at cruising speed is worth it – if you can get those kids in the back to stop blasting TikTok.
Harley-Davidson is known for many wonderful things – style, grunt, tradition – but innovation is a word more often used for European and Japanese bike makers. With a hefty price tag expected (around $49,995 when it launches in Australia), the style of the bike echoes some of the more iconic Harleys, but the engine, suspension and accessories (the centre of the keyless bike’s console touch screen) are unlike anything Harley has done before. Acceleration out of corners is a dream and it may be one of the smoothest rides on the market. 55
