Pat Cummins is uncertain whether his body can handle the demands of five Ashes tests but the young paceman hopes to emulate Mitchell Johnson and become an Australian wrecking ball against England's batting lineup. Johnson's experience gives 24-year-old Cummins hope that he can also make a big impact in the series starting in Brisbane next week.

It probably gave me a little bit of confidence and a little bit of patience (seeing Johnson's comeback).
