NEW DELHI: After being sharply criticized by former Australian coach Darren Lehmann for being too close to the Test team to make the difficult decisions, Australian Test captain Pat Cummins has defended chief selector George Bailey.
Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, and Marnus Labuschagne have all averaged 14.40, the lowest total for Australia's top three in a home Test summer since 1887/88, which has led to harsh criticism of their lackluster performances. In particular, Nathan McSweeney is being carefully watched.
