"Perhaps Some Guys": Pat Cummins' Brutal Take After Loss Against India In 2nd Test

Not every batter is comfortable playing a high-percentage risk shot like sweep and reverse sweep and that's where some of his teammates perhaps “went out of their methods”, was skipper Pat Cummins' observation after Australia's demoralising six-wicket defeat against India in the second Test. As many as five Australian batters, including vice-captain Steve Smith, were guilty of playing across the line to deliveries that were consistently keeping low. “I thought they (India) bowled really well.
