Brisbane, Dec 13:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Ahead of the Brisbane Test, Australia skipper Pat Cummins said he is confident of a big score being just around the corner for premier batter Steve Smith, who hasn슬롯사이트™t been able to make a significant impact in the series against India so far. Smith has averaged just 23.20 in his seven Tests this year, with his lone half-century coming against the West Indies in Brisbane in January. After moving back to his favoured number four position, Smith hasn슬롯사이트™t found success against India, amassing scores of 0, 17 and 2 so far.

슬롯사이트œYou look at his record, stats would suggest (runs) are not far around the corner. In particular this year, he슬롯사이트™s looking fantastic in the nets, just looking really sharp, looking like he슬롯사이트™s got plenty of time. doing all the right things like he always does. He got caught down the leg side last game. I don슬롯사이트™t know if you can look into that too much, so I슬롯사이트™m sure a big score슬롯사이트™s just around the corner,슬롯사이트� said Cummins to reporters on the eve of the third Test.

With the Test series locked at 1-1, the upcoming Test at the Gabba will be of great importance for both teams to get themselves ahead in the race of winning the series and grabbing crucial World Test Championship points.

슬롯사이트œThere슬롯사이트™s definitely pride in winning in Australia. These are our home conditions. These are the conditions we grew up playing with. The hardest thing in cricket nowadays is winning Test series away from home. 슬롯사이트œSo to make that World Test Championship, you슬롯사이트™ve got to win everything at home and try and pick up some wins overseas where you can. We definitely go into every home series here expecting to win. That슬롯사이트™s what we grew up watching. That슬롯사이트™s the standard we슬롯사이트™ve set ourselves,슬롯사이트� added Cummins.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천IND vs AUS 3rd Test 2024슬롯사이트�25: Virat Kohli Addresses Team, Rohit Sharma Bats Against Semi-New and New Ball Ahead of Brisbane Test (Watch Video).

Talking about playing in Brisbane after India and West Indies humbled them in 2021 and 2024 respectively, Cummins stated, "I looked at it yesterday 슬롯사이트� it looked like a good wicket, like it has been the last few years. A bit of sun baking it the last couple of days (means) I don't think it's as green and leafy as it was against South Africa (where the Test ended in two days in 2022). "It's just a venue really. We play at dozens and dozens of venues each year. It's always good coming back to a place that's familiar... but the scoreboard starts at 0-0, so the venue isn't the be-all and end-all."

Cummins signed off by saying he will stick to his bouncers plan against bowling to lower-order Indian batters, something that fetched him a five-wicket haul in Adelaide. 슬롯사이트œIt is always in the back of your mind as a bit of a plan B or, if its looking really uncomfortable and likely to take wickets, it becomes a plan A to some of the batters. It worked in Adelaide, so I슬롯사이트™m sure we슬롯사이트™ll give it a shot at some stage. For the tailenders it looked like a wicket was very likely," said the Aussie skipper.
