ENGLAND bowling coach David Saker has been credited with the rise and rise of the Poms' fast bowlers but Queensland is now thanking him for helping mould one of their latest bowling weapons.
Former Victorian Matthew Gale is Saker's nephew and the late-blooming 29-year-old swing bowler luxuriated on the international stage when he took 4-10 on debut for the Brisbane Heat against the South African Titans in India.
Gale was only called into the Heat team at the last minute, because of a shoulder injury to Calypso quick Kemar Roach, but he showed he could cut it on the big stage of the Champions League.

Gale thought that a cricket career might have passed him by when he struggled with injury in Victoria and he started an alternative career as a financial planner.
But since moving to Queensland for a change of lifestyle he has not looked back and now he shapes as a key member of Queensland's attack in Sheffield Shield cricket this coming season.
And uncle David, himself a former Victorian swing bowler, has had a nice role to play in his development.
'He (Saker) did all his work with me early on ... he was my assistant coach at Victoria,'' Gale said.
''He's been a great help to me - he is an outswing bowler and I think that is probably where I got it from.
''The move up to Brisbane was really good for me, the ball really swings a lot more in Queensland.
''Early on in Victoria there was three or four seasons where at the end of each pre-season I had quite a bad injury which put me out until Christmas.
''I sort of thought cricket might have been behind me a little bit.''
Gale also gave his insight into what had made his Uncle tick in turning England's bowling attack from a group of imposters into a feared battery.
''He is a really good tactician, he has a knack of looking at a batsman and being able to figure out what his weaknesses are really quickly,'' Gale said.
''And then there is the plan that goes into that, he is very good at that.
''Add to that that he is a good fellow, the boys like having a beer with him, he is easy to get along with.''
