Cumming is a right-handed opening batsman who had played 99 First Class games, 103 "List A" or limited overs games and 9 Twenty20 games at the end of the 2006/2007 season. He played for Canterbury early in his career and debuted in First Class and "List A" cricket for them. Cumming has played for South Canterbury in the Hawke Cup.
International career
Cumming had a largely unsuccessful international test career, playing only 11 tests before being dropped due to lack of batting ability. He only made one half-century – a top score of 74 – and failed to reach three figures in any of his test innings. On 5 March 2005 against Australia, he was the recipient of what is considered the fastest ever ball bowled in New Zealand, bowled by Brett Lee, in which he clocked 160.8 km/h (99.9 mph) at Napier as the fastest delivery of the over.[1]
After cricket
Currently, he is a broadcaster for Newstalk ZB in Dunedin hosting local sports shows and producing 'The Country', which airs between midday and 1pm on Newstalk ZB and Radio Sport. He is also one of the domestic Sky Sport commentator for domestic cricket and international home matches, often giving titbits and trivia on cricket terms and hosting Dilmah tea parties during the tea breaks in Test matches.
