The Kangaroos will consider the draw series in Pakistan as a victory.
In an interview, the captain of the Australian team Pat Cummins said that the Test series in Pakistan will be difficult. Yes, it is not necessary that the result be 2-1, to draw a match one has to compete hard, to draw a series in difficult conditions would be tantamount to victory, we do not know what to expect in terms of conditions in Pakistan.
“Test matches in the subcontinent are played either very fast or very slow. As a unit we have not played many series abroad but I hope that in the long run we will be able to control the game,” he said. Û”
“In Test cricket, players have to be prepared for mental and physical exertion. I consider myself fit to be able to spell longer. Other bowlers have also bowled better than usual in the nets,” said Pat Cummins. Hopefully, this homework will come in handy.
He further said that in Pakistan we have to compete with spin and reverse swing and also maintain good run rate. The better the resistance the better the performance. But I am ready and excited for it.
It is to be noted that Australia has won only 5 out of 28 matches in Asia since winning the 2004 series in India, out of which 3 victories were in Bangladesh.
