Ashes 2021-22: Pat Cummins hints Starc could be promoted in the batting order

India TV News  

Australia Test skipper Pat Cummins poured light on his bowling partner Mitchell Starc that he might come up in the batting order in the fourth Ashes Test beginning on Wednesday. Starc has scored 117 runs at an average of 58.50 in the Ashes campaign and has a better average than every England batter across the first three Tests. Cummins, who has batted ahead of Starc in all but two of the 21 Tests they've played together since the previous home Ashes series in 2017/18, has admitted that he may need to re-think the batting order for the fourth Test beginning on January 5. "Across their respective careers to this point, Cummins averages 13.62 at number eight, while Starc's record in that position shows an average of 20.41 with three scores of 50-plus and a best of 84," a cricket.com.au analysis said.
