IND vs AUS: Cummins upset before Delhi Test, told sad about the pitch, will now make changes in playing XI

New Delhi: The second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will be played in Delhi. The first test match was played in Nagpur in which Team India won by an innings and 132 runs. At the same time, before the second Test, Australia’s Pat Cummins has expressed his grief about the pitch here. Cummins believes that all his spinners, including Nathan Lyon, are not proving as effective as they are on bouncy pitches due to the downward bounce on Indian pitches. Spinner Todd Murphy, who made his Test debut for Australia, took seven wickets in the first Test but Lyon got only one wicket.

At the same time, India’s Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja destroyed the Australian batting to give India an innings and 132-run victory. Cummins said before the second Test, ‘In the last match we saw that the ball was bouncing downwards due to which the bowling technique had to be changed. The close fielders never felt that the ball would bounce because there was no bounce.

He said, ‘There was a need to bowl by changing the angle in this. I think the bowlers did well. By making a little change, the performance will be better. In the western parts of India the pitch is made on red soil whereas in northern India it is black soil. Cummins said that even though the color of the soil has changed, there will not be much change in the pitch.

He said, ‘I don’t think so. The soil is different here but the pitch looks the same. It will be helpful for the spinners. lets see.’ He also said that experienced Ashton Agar and left-arm spinner Matt Kunnemann could get a chance in the second Test. Cummins said, ‘We have kept both options open. We are sure of a good show here. Both have practiced a lot in the last few seasons and one of them can be fielded for the third spinner.

The Australian captain also said that opener David Warner will have to counter-attack as that is where he does his best. Asked whether Warner would be dropped, he said, “I am not a selector.” I don’t think they have had any meeting but I am sure Warner will play. This year also in the Boxing Day Test, he put pressure on the opposing team.
