abc.net.au/news/australia-cricket-squad-third-test-india-josh-hazlewood/102002640Pat Cummins's tourists have suffered two humiliating defeats in the first two Tests in India, culminating in a disastrous collapse in Delhi at the weekend.
Australia started day three in Delhi with a 62-run lead but Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja demolished the Aussie side, spinning them out for 113 to take a 2-0 lead in the four-Test series and retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Captain Cummins is also back in Australia due to a serious family illness but is expected to be back in time for the third Test starting in Indore on March 1.
McDonald said spinner Todd Murphy, who took seven wickets on debut in Nagpur and three in Delhi, had a slight niggle in his side but was not in danger of missing the next match."He needs a break so you won't see him doing much work … but it looks good."
