The under-pressure Australian team have a new bowling line-up for the second Test.
Pat Cummins is confident Josh Hazlewood will be fit for the third Test against India in Brisbane after Scott Boland was confirmed as Australia’s third frontline seam bowler for the pink ball Test in Adelaide.
Boland was selected in place of Hazlewood, who picked up a minor side strain during the heavy defeat in the opening match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. “It’s probably the right call in hindsight. I think in previous years, we just kept bowling . It’s probably turned that one-week injury into a three, four or five week injury, whereas this year it seems a little bit different.”Cummins confirmed Mitch Marsh is battling back soreness but said he is poised to bowl, with medical staff opting to give the all-rounder a few extra days of rest rather than bowing in the nets.
Meanwhile, there has been added tension between players and commentators, following suggestions on Fox during the last Test that there could be a rift in the playing ranks.that commentators drew the wrong conclusion from comments made by Hazlewood at a press conference during the match.
