Cricketer-turned-commentator Simon Doull feels Kane Richardson should be picked in place of Pat Cummins in the T20 World Cup as he offers variations, something which Australia's bowling lack.
Cummins and Mitchell Starc looked toothless as Aussie bowlers conceded 200 runs during their T20 World Cup opener against New Zealand to eventually go down by 89 runs on Saturday.
"I think Australia would be concerned, I'd be concerned with some of the parts of the bowling. I said the other night in the warm-up match, I feel personally that Pat Cummins shouldn't be playing in this T20 side," Doull said on Digital Daily.
"I think Kane Richardson should be playing. I feel that he offers them a few variations that they just don't have. It's same-same. It's pace on, pace on, pace on. Starc, (Josh) Hazlewood, Cummins - they don't have a really good change-up bowler.
"We saw from Tim Southee tonight (Saturday) with some of those change-ups that that certainly played a part from New Zealand's point of view. So I feel that Richardson should be in the side (though) it's a big call though to drop."
New Zealand bundled out Australia for 111 to register their first win against their trans-Tasman rivals in Australia in any format since December 2011.
"That's a drubbing, that is a proper win and it really hurts Australia's net run rate for the future in the tournament, and it just helps New Zealand enormously," Doull said. "I gave them about an 80/20 chance of winning, or a 20 percent chance basically, but they surprised me."
