It is the vision that will delight locals, but terrify England fans: Aussie paceman Pat Cummins bowling with gusto in the nets at Perth Stadium.
Cummins, 32, is firming to play in the second Ashes Test after an extended session bowling at full pace in Perth on Tuesday.
The Australia captain has been ruled out of the series opener against England due to a back stress injury - but bowled for almost an hour as he trained with his teammates.
After completing the session, Cummins gave a little fist pump to his teammates in a sign that his comeback is going according to plan.
He then spent time speaking to South Australia quick Brendan Doggett, who is expected to make his Test debut.
If named in the XI, Dogget will be just the third player with Indigenous heritage to represent Australia after Jason Gillespie and Scott Boland.

It comes as Australia's fast-bowling attack for the first Test will be Mitchell Starc, Boland and Doggett.
There were fears Cummins could miss most, if not all, of the Ashes due to the most serious injury he has suffered since 2016.
But any appearance this summer is sure to worry England, with Cummins having never lost against them since his Ashes debut in 2017-18.
Having a week off before the second Test at the Gabba should also help Cummins' bid to be ready.
Also working in his favour is that Brisbane will be a day-night Test, which have been historically less strenuous on bowlers.
But Cummins has previously conceded he would be unlikely to play out the rest of the summer unchanged once he is fit.
Jake Weatherald is tipped to open the batting with Usman Khawaja - and still can't believe he is closing on his own Test debut.
'Meeting people you admire so much has been a pretty cool experience,' he told cricket.com.au.
'Steve Smith, Usman Khawaja, Patty Cummins – guys you've revered in your career for such a long time, now you're rubbing shoulders (with them).
'For me it's just getting to know them a bit better and just trying to crack into what I do well as well, and not to get too overawed with everything that's going on.'
The first Test begins at Optus Stadium on November 21.
