Former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson has criticised the Pat Cummins-led side for lacking winning mindset in the 1st Test against India in Perth. India beat Australia by 295 runs in the first Test of a five-match series to go 1-0 up in the series.

He also highlighted how youngsters like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana won the mental battle against the senior pros in the Australian side.
Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner is a chance to return to the New Zealand team for the second test against England but coach Gary Stead said he would be standing by his batters after the eight-wicket loss in the series opener on Sunday.
Former pacer Mitchell Johnson reckons that Australia should drop out-of-form Marnus Labuschagne from the playing eleven for the day-night Adelaide Test against India, starting December 6. Labuschagne got out for two (52 balls) in the first innings and 5-ball three in the second essay during the Perth Test. "Marnus Labuschagne — after a lengthy poor run with the bat — should be replaced for the second Test in Adelaide. And that's not for the sake of having someone pay the price for the thrashing in Perth," Johnson wrote in ‘Nightly.' Johnson said it will help Labuschagne to go back to domestic cricket and rediscover his form.
