Australia’s former Test skipper Tim Paine has praised Pat Cummins for his exemplary management and efficiency with the ball after their triumphant World Cup marketing campaign in India. Cummins led from the entrance and completed with spectacular figures of two/34 from his 10 overs, selecting up the essential wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer to limit India to a modest 240. His daring resolution to bowl first after profitable the toss was hailed by many. Australia then rode on Travis Head (137) and Marnus Labuschagne (58 not out)’s 192-run fourth-wicket stand to beat India by six wickets and raise the coveted trophy for a record-extending sixth time.
“When we won the toss I think Pat Cummins shocked everyone a bit with the call to bowl first,” Paine instructed SEN Radio.
“They obviously had some terrific mail – and they all have a lot of IPL experience and have been there – the mail on that ground is that the dew comes in and it is extremely hard to bowl in the second innings, and I think we saw that.
“The concern was, I feel, that being an Indian pitch and probably being a bit drier that it could spin and gradual proper up and it did not try this, if something it truly received barely higher,” he said.
Paine said Cummins did not put a foot wrong in the big finale on Sunday.
“I do not assume there was a factor final night time that Pat Cummins received incorrect. He was excellent and he deserves a number of credit score for that. Andrew McDonald and his teaching workers deserve a number of credit score for that,” he said.
“Bowling first was the primary name. Then once we have been bowling, you might see the homework that went into it. The fields we had early to Rohit Sharma, that deep level, slip and Glenn Maxwell at like a fly slip,” the former wicket-keeper batter said.
“Then to vary that round as quickly as they noticed the wicket was a bit slower and the ball received older to Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, at instances we went with 4 guys on the off facet and no cowl. I have never seen that in one-day cricket.” Paine said Cummins had one of his “nice recreation” as skipper in the title clash.
“When the Indian batsmen have been attempting to consolidate, Pat learn that fantastically and introduced Travis Head on and Mitch Marsh on to financial institution some overs after they weren’t actually seeking to take us on.
“I thought Pat Cummins had one of the great games as the captain and then when he bowled, that’s as good as I have seen him for a while. When he went full speed, he was hitting the wicket hard and I thought he set the tone.
“His captaincy good, his bowling was excellent and we have been good within the subject as nicely,” he added.
