AUS vs IND, 3rd Test: Rain breaks were frustrating, says Australia captain Cummins after India salvages draw
The HinduA gripping but weather-beaten Test that wound to a draw was nearly relegated to the background once R. Ashwin announced his retirement. With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series still very much in the balance at 1-1 after the conclusion of the third Test, the Australian captain stressed that his team has a lot to feel good about this game: “The runs and partnership in the first innings, to score 445, to bowl out India for 260, they were all good signs. I don’t think I have ever played a game with so many breaks and yeah it was frustrating.” PHOTO GALLERY | R Ashwin announces retirement: A recap of his illustrious career across formats Cummins was also quick to stress that not much should be read into the way Australia batted in its second outing: “Well I would dismiss that. We get a bit of a break now and then we will get to Melbourne.” Queried about Josh Hazlewood’s recurring injuries, Cummins said: “It is a bit of a shame and Josh will miss the rest of the series. I am sure Mitch will get a crack as the fourth seamer in the next few games.” Cummins admitted to being surprised while reacting to R. Ashwin’s retirement from international cricket.
