Cullen, a right-handed fast bowler, played locally for Glebe District.[3]

The Sydney Morning Herald, reviewing his performance in 1912, called him a "promising" first-grade bowler. His bowling, although not as fast as his "clubmate Cotter", could "swing-away" from right-handed batsman and sometimes "bend back from the off".[4]

Also in 1912, a Saturday Referee and The Arrow reader asked whether Cullen should be displaced from the New South Wales colts team in favour of Sydney Shea, a fellow fast bowler from Waverley. The paper's columnist replied both were "very promising" but Cullen's bowling was faster, "and it is the fastest possible bowling we want to develop".[5]
