Fresh from Australia’s 2-0 sweep over West Indies, skipper Pat Cummins dismissed any obsession with the concurrent India-England Test series. Speaking in Grenada after clinching the second Test by 133 runs, Cummins quipped that he hadn’t been following the action at Edgbaston, joking, “I wasn't (watching India vs England), probably Marnus (Labuschagne) was, we'll keep an eye on it. Who'd want to be a bowler over there?" The Australian captain’s sarcasm was aimed at the Edgbaston surface, which saw over 1,700 runs scored during the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. India’s dominant performance included two centuries from captain Shubman Gill—269 and 161—backed by Akash Deep’s 10-wicket haul. England, too, managed a heavy total but eventually fell to a 336-run defeat as the series was levelled 1-1. When asked to compare the bowling conditions in Grenada and Birmingham, Cummins remarked, “Well, I wouldn't be surprised (over Edgbaston wicket being the third flattest wicket in English history). Looking at Test cricket his week over here compared to that, looks like two different sports. It looks like it is going to be a good series, 1-1 now." Australia, in contrast, played on seamer-friendly wickets, bowling West Indies out for 143 on Day 4. With the victory, they started the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle with maximum points. In the post-match press, Cummins added, “An away win as well, they’re not the easiest to come by, so really pumped with how we’ve bounced back after Lord’s.” Read also: Yashasvi Jaiswal Gifts Bat to Visually Impaired Fan in Touching Gesture Cummins Eyes Ashes Preparation, Not Distracted by Flat Decks Abroad Despite the amusing remark about the India-England series, Cummins acknowledged that the England pitches will be on the radar for strategic reasons. Hinting at potential insights for the next Ashes campaign, he noted, “It looks like it is going to be a good series, 1-1 now.” Meanwhile, Alex Carey was adjudged Player of the Match for his twin knocks, aiding Australia in posting match-defining totals. The Aussies had earlier secured the first Test within three days, winning by 159 runs. Cummins emphasized the importance of maintaining focus through the new WTC cycle and refining their away record. With two wins out of two, Australia’s start has been “a dream,” said the captain, who now turns attention towards long-term challenges, including future tours in England.
