Hobart: Australia may have beaten England 4-0 in the ash series but captain Pat Cummins believes they need to test themselves in all conditions and fight all countries.
The rampant Australian side took 10 goals for 56 Run to destroy England in the fifth ash test at Hobart Sunday to complete the 4-0 series.
It was a spectacular comeback for Australians, who were beaten at home by India this time last year.
Cummins said the test team, which did not tour in 2021 because Covid, was building well and needed to test himself in all conditions.
“This is a fairly foreign condition with what we usually expect in Australia,” Cummins said about the Hobart test, where Australia slipped to 3-12 on the first morning.
“It was a green sore goalkeeper but I thought Jalan Marnus (Labuschagne), Travis’s head and Cam Green took the game was a very good template for any condition that we expected.” We can be the type of team that is brave enough to take the ponytitude abroad if necessary.
“I think it puts us in a good place.” Australia traveled to Pakistan in March and April for three test matches along with three ODIS and T20 clashes.
Cummins said he was excited about touring Pakistan.
“We have played very well in Australia – it’s up to us to take it abroad,” he said.
“I think it’s the best side of the world you need to win at home, but more importantly you have to succeed abroad.” That is a challenge for this party because we haven’t played a lot abroad for the past few years.
“Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India this year – it’s all truly foreign conditions to Australia, so it will be our challenge.”
