"He looks his normal self to me" - Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood on Pat Cummins after tough Day 3 of 1st BGT 2024-25 Test against India
Speaking after stumps on Day 3, Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood put his weight behind captain Pat Cummins after an ordinary performance in the first Test.
As quoted by ESPNCricinfo, he said:
"He looks his normal self to me. I can usually pick up with the other two quicks when they're a little bit off and I didn't see any signs of that, maybe a little bit of rust in the first innings. You sort of take the freshness, I think, over that and throughout this game, he obviously, I think, got better, and you'll just see him get better as he goes along, I think. The freshness, I think, trumps playing that Shield game for him."
On the plans of the batting unit ahead of day 4, Hazlewood added:
"You probably have to ask one of the batters that question. I'm sort of relaxing and trying to get a bit of physio and a bit of treatment, and I'm probably looking mostly towards the next Test and what plans we can do against these batters."
