India vs Australia: Pace or spin, Pat Cummins confident

Last Updated: March 11, 2023 | India, Delhi

The visiting captain tells his team to "get into the grind" before the Test Series. For the next Test series against India, Australia feels confidence in its bowling attack, and skipper Pat Cummins thinks even their spin arsenal is prepared to handle the challenge of subcontinental conditions. The series, which starts on Thursday in Nagpur, has enough alternatives in Australia, according to Cummins, to assist seasoned off-spinner Nathan Lyon. Given that promising off-break bowler Todd Murphy has yet to make his international debut, Mitchell Swepson and finger spinner Ashton Agar will be the front-runners to partner with Lyon. When Mitchell Starcy returns, we have a lot of alternatives here with finger spin, wrist spin, and the left arm (pace)," Cummins told reporters.first media appearance upon arrival in India. Naturally, we'll choose the bowlers that we anticipate will grab 20 wickets. "However, we're not really certain yet how we'll divide that out." In the XI, will he use two spinners? I would not describe it as a given. It is obviously quite condition-dependent, especially in the initial test. "We'll see that when we get to Nagpur," he said. The fact that someone like Agar was a member of our previous squad and that Swepson participated in the two most recent international tours is a plus. We think Lyon has had a lot of support from that department. In addition to the specialised spinners, Travis Head is a part-time option for Cummins. Travis Head is a great bowler as well.off-spin." "We need to strike a balance." There is a wide selection to pick from. "No bowling lineups have been decided upon yet." Cummins wanted to emphasise his rushing attack's strength even if spin bowling was the focus. When discussing a few spinners, "I think sometimes you forget how brilliant a lot of our fast bowlers have been in all conditions," said the speaker. The fact that Cummins made his Test comeback in Ranchi six years ago shows just how well-versed he is in Indian conditions. "It's not usually the case while visiting India when a lot of the discussions centre around large spinning wickets. Sometimes you have to put in the work. The fast bowler's job is to bowl many overs for little or no reward.a great deal of incentive for contributing to your team. There is a lot at stake right now, he remarked.
