rangeelaraja Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Makes sense. 10 days is a long time between 2 test matches. Hard to dislike Cummins, affable and very un-Aussie on the field. Edited February 20, 2023 by rangeelaraja Under_Score 1 Link to comment

Didnt Ganguly do this in the series in which Australia won in India? Vijy 1 Link to comment
Chalks Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 However he has performed in this series, he almost singlehandedly kept Australia in the two series India won here. Till now he has always delivered in the biggest series. Great bloke too. The one opposition player I wish played for India. nevada 1 Link to comment
LordPrabhzy Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Somehow Pat Cummins has never irked me as a typical Aussie player.. hes deffo not in the same mould as Steve Smith or Mark Waugh by which you can actually like him as a person and a fantastic bowler in seaming conditions Vijy 1 Link to comment

I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I remember lot of bitches like philtrundler, Johnson, even starc, hazletrundler, a few kiwi bowlers all magically get injured for india tour. They want to duck india tour as they know their average will take a huge hit. Vijy 1 Link to comment

MK55 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 We should stop speculating why he’s returning. He has iterated multiple times how important this series is. Has always been genuine in his interviews. The article talks about a serious illness in the family. I hope it gets sorted out soon and he’s able to return. Wish him the best. nevada 1 Link to comment
