Not each batter is comfy enjoying a high-percentage danger shot like sweep and reverse sweep and that is the place a few of his teammates maybe ‘went out of their methods’, skipper Pat Cummins mentioned after Australia’s demoralising six-wicket defeat in opposition to India.
As many as 5 Australian batters, together with vice-captain Steve Smith, have been responsible of enjoying throughout the road to deliveries that have been persistently holding low. “I thought they (India) bowled really well. It’s not easy out there, but perhaps some guys went away from their methods,” Cummins mentioned after the second Test, which his facet misplaced by six wickets.
Cummins feels that the ‘one size fits all’ method isn’t the proper means to go about so far as batting on these tracks are involved. “Each batter has their own way to go about it. I don’t think there’s any one size fits all rule. Unfortunately, quite a few of us got out with kind of cross batted shots which might not be our preferred method,” Cummins additional defined.
