In a significant development, Australia called up Lance Morris and Michael Neser as cover players, as veteran speedster Pat Cummins is yet to recover from the quad injury he sustained in the first Test against West Indies. 

While people are surfing the internet to know who Lance Morris is, experienced Western Australian all-rounder Hilton Cartwright has explained his credentials and how he can serve the national Test side. 

Cartwright, who has played four matches for Australia, drew an analogy between Morris and Starc, considering their common modus operandi with the ball. He even claimed that Morris' inclusion in the playing XI would elevate Starc's performance, as the former will give him fair competition. 

Here's what Cartwright stated

"Mitchell Starc has been world class for a very long time, but I genuinely think Lance is the quickest bowler in Australian cricket at the moment. The way Mitch goes about his business is quite different to what Lance does in that he swings the ball a bit differently, but their roles are pretty similar when it comes to pace, bouncers and roughing up the tail,

"If they do play together, Mitchell Starc might even push himself a bit more because he has a bit of competition. If he (Morris) does exactly what he’s been doing for Western Australian cricket then I have no doubt that he’ll perform on that stage."

The second Test between Australia and West Indies is scheduled in Adelaide on December 8.
