With three wins in its last three matches, Australia has finally arrived at the World Cup and skipper Pat Cummins believes his side has ‘nailed’ the brand of cricket it wanted to play.
“Our group’s big on talking about the style that we want to play, and I think in the first two games not only did we not win, but I think we didn’t really nail the style that we wanted to play. I think in the last few games you’ve seen us be a bit more aggressive — batting and bowling... That’s a standard we want to keep going with for the rest of the tournament, Cummins said ahead of the match against New Zealand at the HPCA Stadium here.
In the losses against India and South Africa, the Aussie bowlers allowed to let the game drift away in the middle-overs by not picking up wickets. However, its three-match winning streak since, which includes a record 309-run win over Netherlands, has seen Australia bundle out oppositions with ease.
