Cricket: Steve Smith has sent an injury scare through the Australia Test side as he copped some friendly fire in the nets.
An India n journalist has taken a curious look at how the Australian public treats Pat Cummins ’ Aussie cricket team , surprised that it is “not unequivocally loved” despite all its achievements.Writing for the India n Express
