A tall fast bowler, Ben Cutting benefitted from a raft of injuries to make his Pura Cup debut in the first game of the 2007-08 season. After starting with a legside delivery that went for five wides against Tasmania, he captured three wickets in a strong opening, but from there his summer was upset by a nagging side strain. Cutting returned to the Academy in 2008, having impressed the coaches there in 2007, and built on the gains made as part of the Australia Under-19 team that reached the semi-finals of the 2006 Youth World Cup in Sri Lanka. Capable of creating steepling bounce from his 1.92m height, Cutting has a slightly mechanical action and has already suffered with back troubles. In 2008-09 he waited until the end of the season to add to his Sheffield Shield tally, playing three matches, including the final, and capturing eight wickets. There were also four Twenty20 appearances, but he needs to increase his consistency over the next couple of seasons if he is going to be a regular with the Bulls.
