"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.
