there is more pressure on us
“The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is always very challenging,” Cummins said in a press conference. The 5 test match series will be more competitive. The Australian captain admitted that the pressure will be on his team which has lost the last four Test series against India. “There is always pressure when playing on home soil and it will be a good challenge, but we are not thinking too far ahead,” he said. It would be great to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian team is very good, but our preparation is also solid.
One has to play one’s natural game.
Cummins also said that new batsman Nathan McSweeney will have to show his natural game instead of copying David Warner. Warner retired from international cricket earlier this year. They will have to show their natural game. Don’t try to play like David Warner. This is not his natural game.
