“We gonna have a bat today. There’s a bit of a grass like an old MCG wicket, looks nice and firm. It’s been a great series so far. (On what it means to play on Boxing Day) As a child in Australia when you wake up, you have a good night’s sleep after Christmas, and you look forward to the first ball. Sam will open the batting and Scott also comes in for Hazlewood,” said Pat Cummins after winning the toss.
“We would have batted as well, looks like a good wicket. The series is 1-1, a lot to play for, it gives us a perfect opportunity to show what we are as a team. Whatever situation lies in front of you, you have to fight. It’s a new day and we are looking forward to it. We have one change – GIll misses out and Washington comes in. (On whether he will bat at the top of the order) Yes, I will,” said Rohit Sharma at toss.
