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.
