Australia’s captain Pat Cummins and head coach Andrew McDonald have rubbished the contention that the skipper will resign at the end of the Ashes series.
Australia’s captain Pat Cummins and head coach Andrew McDonald have rubbished the contention that the skipper will resign at the end of the Ashes series, after his tactics and workload were questioned during England’s too-late run at winning the Old Trafford Test.
“If we’re living and dying in the world of tactics only, then I think it’s fair and reasonable to critique some of the execution and tactics that we implemented. But to go as far as suggesting that the captain resign post-series I think is a bit far-fetched. There’s opinions that we respect and opinions that we don’t.”
“In a perfect world if my form and body could keep up I’d like to be playing into my mid 30s, I’d doubt that I’ll be captaining that long,” Cummins had said.“It’s good to have some freshness every X amount of time. If I’ve got seven or eight years, in a perfect world, of Test cricket, I’d be very surprised if I’m captain for the whole time.”
“We’ve a chance to revisit our plans, but this team’s played some great cricket over the last eight months. So to judge us on three days would be very harsh. We feel as though we’re still got improvement, even in those first two Test matches we felt like we had some improvements to make there as well.”
