"Deserves A Lot Of Credit": Tim Paine Lavishes Praise On Pat Cummins' Captaincy In World Cup Triumph
Australia's former Test skipper Tim Paine has praised Pat Cummins for his exemplary leadership and performance with the ball after their triumphant World Cup campaign in India. Cummins led from the front and finished with impressive figures of 2/34 from his 10 overs, picking up the crucial wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer to restrict India to a modest 240. His bold decision to bowl first after winning the toss was hailed by many.

Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been ruled out of his side's World Cup match against England after falling off a golf cart and sustaining a concussion. Maxwell, who hit a tournament record 40-ball century against the Netherlands last week and also offers a handy second spin option, will miss Saturday's clash in Ahmedabad after a bizarre sequence of events. Maxwell had finished a round at Gujarat's Kalhaar Blues and Greens club on Monday evening and was riding on the back of a cart with team-mates when he lost his grip, fell and hit his head. Head coach Andrew McDonald told cricket.com.au: "In transporting him back from the clubhouse to the team bus, Glenn Maxwell came off the back of a car and has suffered a small concussion. "He'll go into six to eight days concussion protocol, so they said that takes into account the England game. It was just a clearcut accident. He's an important player for us, hopefully it's just the one game he misses. "The guys were ferried off on carts.
