IND vs AUS: Cummins says no let up in intensity as hosts eye win in Sydney

Australia captain Pat Cummins asserted that there would be no let up in intensity despite the hosts grabbing a 2-1 lead heading into the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, beginning here on Friday. A commanding 184-run victory in the Boxing Day Test has placed Australia in pole position to reclaim the Trophy for the first time since 2014-15. "I mean, it's always the preferred position. But you know, you go into every Test match trying to win. So, it's no different this week," Cummins said "But I'm really happy with how the boys have played in the last three Tests. We've shown that we've been the front-runners, and the aim again this week is to keep it up," he added. The skipper, however, conceded there are some issues with the Aussies' batting. "I think, no doubt, there are times when we would have liked to score more runs. In that last game in Melbourne, we would have liked to push that lead out to 400-500, given we were in such a good position. But

Rohit Sharma has earned right to walk away on his own terms: Michael Clarke

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke says India skipper Rohit Sharma has earned the right to walk away from Test cricket on his own terms notwithstanding his barren run with the bat Down Under. Pressure has been gradually building on Rohit who is yet to play a knock of significance in the three Tests he has played so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Another stalwart in the team, Virat Kohli, is also facing the heat for repeatedly falling to balls outside the off-stump in the series. "You see that with a number of players -- to some people the captaincy helps for others it doesn't. I certainly think he'll plat at Sydney. I don't think they'll drop him. I think Rohit has earned the right and he's captain. When you are captain you get a little more leeway as well," Clarke told ESPN ahead of the fifth Test beginning here on Friday. "But those numbers don't read great. But they'll allow Rohit to walk away on his own terms. No idea if Sydney will be his last Test. I'm not sure what h

We could pass a law that makes Bumrah bowl left-handed, jokes Australian PM

Such has been the impact of Jasprit Bumrah in the Border-Gavaskar trophy that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese jokingly suggested a law that forces India's pace spearhead to bowl "left-handed or off one step" against the home team. The right-handed Bumrah, considered as the world's best fast bowler across formats, has caused plenty of trouble for the Australian batters and has taken 30 wickets in four Tests. Albanese, who hosted the Indian and Australian players here on Wednesday ahead of the decisive fifth Test, spoke glowingly of Bumrah. "We could pass a law here that says he has to bowl left-handed or off one step. Every time he has come onto bowl has been very exciting, Albanese said in a lighter vein, as reported by the Sydney Morning Herald. "The Australian and Indian teams have already given us an incredible summer of cricket," Albanese later wrote on social media. "When the fifth test starts on Friday, the SCG will be a sea of pink in support of the great work of
