Scott Boland Player Profile

Scott Boland is an Australian fast bowler who became a cricket hero at the age of 32. He plays right-arm fast medium and is known for his incredible accuracy. Boland made history when he took 6 wickets for just 7 runs against England in his first Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He is only the second Indigenous male Test player for Australia after Jason Gillespie. While Australia has other famous fast bowlers, Boland always delivers when the team needs him. He has played for teams like Victoria, the Hobart Hurricanes, and briefly for Rising Pune Supergiants in the IPL. Even though he started his Test career late, Boland has proven himself as one of the best backup bowlers in cricket history.
