Christian has called in to Australian team for 2nd Test against New Zealand

South Australian all-rounder Dan Christian has called in to the Australian team for the second Test against New Zealand in Hobart starting on Friday, as the selectors and the medical staff feel that teen pace sensation Pat Cummins still requires some rest due to injury and injured Queensland quick Ben Cutting.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Cutting suffered a side strain while bowling in the Sheffield Shield match against Victoria and now joins fellow pacers Cummins (heel), Ryan Harris (hip), Mitchell Johnson (toe surgery) and all-rounder Shane Watson (hamstring) on the sidelines.
