India vs Australia: Good technique vital on these tracks, says Rohit Sharma

embarrassment in Pat Cummins’ speech at post-match press conference was unmistakable. His team went down sweeping mindlessly to Indian spinners on Sunday. The sweep has been the go-to shot in spinning conditions since Matthew Hayden’s rampage in India in 2001. It just appears that their cricketers believe there is not any other way to survive in these conditions.“There were a few lessons we learned well from last week. We did well in the first innings at times, probably at times just overplayed that in the second. I am probably as much to blame as anyone else there,” Cummins said while talking about the flurry of batters falling to the sweep shot.

"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. It's not easy out there, but perhaps some guys went away from their methods,” Cummins said after the match. Cummins feels that the “one size fits all” approach isn't the right way to go about as far as batting on these tracks are concerned.
