Pat Cummins and his golden touch
Hindustan TimesKolkata: Knack for wickets, unparalleled control and a never-say-die attitude for which Glenn McGrath will be revered as possibly the greatest Australian fast bowler in the last four decades. Not highlighted enough is also an equally telling phase of fast bowling as skipper where Cummins has taken 130 Test wickets at an average of 23.50. Before the skies opened up at Brisbane, Cummins had raised hopes by getting Rohit and Rishabh Pant caught behind besides dismissing top-scorer Ravindra Jadeja when India were still 32 runs short of the follow-on mark. Similar returns awaited at the SCG, where Cummins orchestrated India’s final implosion by taking out Jadeja and Washington Sundar after inducing the marauding Pant to nick a short and wide bait to the wicketkeeper. In a year when Kagiso Rabada was feted for being the quickest to reach 300 Test wickets, 294 wickets in 67 Tests is extraordinary for the captain of a side that was forced to go through an unprecedented leadership churn in the aftermath of the ball-tampering scandal before Tim Paine’s off-field misconduct caught Australia off-guard again in 2021.
