TOWERING quick Billy Stanlake wants to be known as a bowler who can do more than simply send down 150km/h bullets in one-day cricket.

The 23-year-old is a white-ball specialist without a Test cap and only two first-class appearances to his name.

But Stanlake revealed on Thursday the changes he has made to his training regimen, which he hopes will hold him in good stead for future red-ball cricket.

The 204cm Queenslander said he is developing “different gears” to his bowling while training with the Australia A one-day squad that will travel to India on Monday.

“In the long forms, you probably need to have those different gears,” Stanlake said.

“I think you probably can’t do that (bowl express) all day for five days. So, that’s probably something I’m still learning as well; when to take it back a notch in training if you’re feeling a little bit sore.

“But in white-ball cricket, I’m going flat out for the whole time and that’s something I really want to do.”

Stanlake’s last red-ball match came for the Queensland Bulls in the Sheffield Shield three years ago.

He has since focused on 50-over and 20-over formats, forcing his way into international contention with his exceptional speed and bounce.

Stanlake was in June part of Australia’s one-day tour of England, taking six wickets in four innings at 34.50.

The tour took his international ODI appearances to six, and T20Is to 12, but he is yet to enter the frame for Test selection.

An impressive performance in this month’s ‘A’ tour of India could change that, as Australia look to fill the shoes of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.

The pair were on Thursday afternoon ruled out of Australia’s tour of the UAE to face Pakistan, leaving two bowling vacancies in the squad.

Stanlake’s Test inexperience leaves him unlikely to tour, but that hasn’t stopped him from picking the brains of Australia’s top three quicks, as he prepares his body to play all three forms of cricket this summer.

He said he asked Hazlewood, Cummins and Mitchell Starc about how to reach a “point where you’re just ticking along nicely”.

Stanlake feels he’s much closer to that destination than he was 12 months ago after overcoming multiple stress fractures and a toe infection.

“The hardest part is getting to that point,” he said.

“You know a good soreness and a bad soreness and work out how you can keep your body feeling good … I definitely learnt from that [toe injury].”

Speaking of his chances for future Test cricket, Stanlake said: “It’s been a great start getting some cricket into me and I’m sure when the time’s right red ball will come.”
