The Next Shane Warne??
The Next Shane Warne
June 17 2007
Shane Warne's heir apparent Cullen Bailey will be looking to the champion leg-spinner's mentor Terry Jenner as he bids to win a place in the Australian Test team.
The South Australian leg-spinner was included in Cricket Australia's 25-man contract squad last month, and is considered the player most likely to step into the enormous shoes of Test cricket's leading wicket-taker.
Bailey told the Adelaide Advertiser that he sought out Jenner during a one-week camp at the Australian Cricket Academy in Brisbane, and that he was hoping to develop his game ahead of Australia A's tour of Pakistan in September.
"The challenge is to become a successful first-class cricketer and go from there," he said.
"Terry Jenner is up there, which is great, while you have Troy Cooley, Jamie Siddons and Tim (Nielsen) to help as well."
Nielsen, also a South Australian, has taken over from John Buchanan as Australia coach, and Bailey is hoping he can make an impression on him during matches in Queensland next month.
But he said that while he was now a step closer to national selection, he felt no extra pressure.
"There might be some pressure from outside but I haven't felt any more personally," he said.
Fellow South Australian Daniel Cullen, an off spinner contracted to CA, has also been at the Academy in Brisbane, and Bailey said he has seen noticeable improvement in Cullen and fellow Redback Mark Cosgrove.
"They are working very hard up there with Tim," said Bailey.
"Dan said he wasn't going to pick up a ball for a month but after two days was bowling for 20 overs.
"He is pretty happy with how things are going. Cosgrove has been doing lots of running and trying to improve all aspects of his game."

Re: The Next Shane Warne??
i like him as a bowler. hes very talented. he can spin the ball and he can also change his flight nicely. he can already bowl the doosra which is no mean feat. he doesent mind sledging the batsmen either , which is a great sign for a young bowler.
I faced him last year, he has all the toys, he is young and he has got a bit of fire about him," Warne said late in 2005. "He will definitely play for Australia. It is good to see we have a genuine offspinner."
but he didnt have a great season in 06. SO there is still a question mark over him. its all good to have the talent but u gotta deliver. I think hes learning from T.Jenner these days so hopefully he can keep improving. Hopefully we can see him playing for Aus in another couple of years (i think he still needs couple more domestic seasons b4 test cricket)
oh and btw there will be no other Shane Warne. U cant replace him.
Re: The Next Shane Warne??

:-[ too true
sorry my mistake , didnt read it properly .maybe i should read the whole thing next time. i just read the first bit

and got em mixed up. >
"Dan Cullen Bailey" the next spin bowler for AUstralia.
about Bailey , i havent seen enough of him to make a judgement but he looks allrite. May as well ease Bailey into Tests on home soil this summer. No point in squandering a home summers development. But atm i think Mcgill would be holding that spinners spot (even though his FC stats were rubbish last year)
Re: The Next Shane Warne??
i know some people who are bigger domestic fans than me... they dont rate Cullun (Dan) at all and think Bailey has something going for him..
they also give huge wraps on Doran (but they are queenslanders so...)
whatever happened to Nathan Hauritz LOL

Re: The Next Shane Warne??
