The clinical way in which Australia handles UK in the first ash test recently is another reminder of how well Australians can regroup, regardless of last minute hiccups.
The Paine Episode team just before the series began to mean that the team suddenly needed a new captain and a new goalkeeper.
Elevating Pat Cummins, which is the deputy captain of the exam for the captain is a clear choice, but this also brought Steve Smith back to the leadership role for the first time since the 2018 Ball Tampering episode.
CUMMINS made captain is also a very interesting choice from the rapid perspective .
This is definitely not the first time this happened, but it was not too common.
In his first task as captain, Cummins included superlative performance, bagging 7 goals and marshaling troops up to 9 Wicket won and tin 1-0.
He was by chance, the captain of the first Bowling test was the first specialist owned by the Australian man since Ray Lindwall the captain of the side in one match in 1956.

Former Fast Bowler Australia Jason Gillespie, who played 71 tests, 97 ODIS and 1 T20i and took over 400 Wickets International was a guest at the Times of Indian Sports – Sportscast – recently and talked about the passion of the Aussie cricket and others.
.
“I think Pat Cummins will be a good leader, I think he will do a fantastic job and he will have great support around it in the field, with Steve Smith, David Warner.
Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell, Nathan Lyon , Travis’s head (around) and Alex Carey also made his debut.
He will have a lot of support, not only in the field, but also from supporting staff off the field, so I’m really sure that Pat will be a good captain for Australia.
” Gillespie said at Sportscast.
When a Bowler became captain, his responsibility while the team basically doubled.
The player must bowl himself and also turn another bowler and become part of the decision placement of the field.
Gillespie also touches a certain interesting aspect of the number of Overs Captain Bowl.
Steve Smith with Skipper Pat Cummins (AP photo) “We have seen it in the past (Bowler quickly became captain).
It hasn’t been done as often as the Batsmen into the captain.
So it will be an interesting time.
I think Pat said Cummins when he was announced As the test captain is very interesting.
He said he would take a real collaborative approach to leadership, his leadership style.
And he felt that Steve Smith would be an integral part of his leadership team.
And it was very important to understand, because as a quick bowling captain he would Having a few challenges.
He can be accused of being too bowling himself, he can be accused of being under the bowling himself.
He will need, from time to time for time, take a break from the leadership.
This can be something simple as descending to the good foot for some Overs, to refresh, relax, drink, just plan next, especially if he medium spell.
“Gillespie said at Sportscast.
Before the Ball Tubmaring episode in Newlands in 2018, Steve Smith was a blue-eyed boy from Australian cricket.
He lowered one of the best batsmen in the world, especially in the longest format, productive running machine and captain.
Now, the 32-year-old child found himself as a representative to Cummins and returned in the role of leadership.
The two-year ban on holding leadership roles ended last year.
According to Gillespie, who took 65 goals in 18 tests from 1997 to 2005, Smith would have an important role to play in front, especially because Australia now has one of their main bowlers as captain.
“It’s warm, hot weather.
He (Cummins) just needs to take stock from time to time.
And this is where the leadership of Steve Smith as a representative will be very important.
Some people might question it and say – not he is the captain, he must do that, he must do that, he must do that, He can’t be seen on the legs that are good at any time.
But my argument is that the Australian team is in trouble if they can’t manage 6 balls with the captain of the bowling quickly they are on fine legs.
If they can’t function for 6 balls, then There was something wrong with that side.
I think the team has had a number of leaders inside and on the side, so I can’t imagine there will be a problem.
“Gillespie further said at Sportscast.
