After being humbled by an innings and 32 runs in the first Test, Australia captain Pat Cummins admits his side needs to change its batting approach to get on top of India's spinners.
Cummins said Australia needed to consider throwing caution to the wind if its batters were to get on top of India's spinners."I don't think there were any surprises out there. We knew what we were going to expect. They bowled well, so it's about coming up with a couple of different methods.
"I think at times you've got to be a little bit brave and a little bit proactive to try and put the pressure back on the bowling.Pat Cummins was one of Ravindra Jadeja's victims in Australia's second innings. Cummins said Australia's second-innings capitulation was not helped by India's bowling attack being fresher after their tourists were kept in the field as the hosts compiled a first-innings total of 400.
"You've got to bat big to be able to post a score but to also give your bowlers a rest," Cummins said.Steve Smith, who made 37 and an unbeaten 25 in his two knocks, said Australia let itself down with the bat on the opening day of the match.
