I honestly appreciate how much respect pat Cummins has towards an ashes rival, and England's best batsman. Its a shame to see great Aussie senior players like Michael Clarke freaking out even when the word "famous" is used infront of jimmy Anderson, while the present team youngsters show more respect. I love the aggression in pat cummins on the field, cause i know that aggression is what makes the ashes so interesting, and i also love how cummins changes his attitude off the field as well. Well im not an Aussie or an brit therefore im unbiased and i support urll both in the ashes.

Still old Aussies like ponting ,Haddin , Clarke,Johnson , Brett Lee,Faulkner were arrogant and disrespectful players the most .the Aussies right now are all good and down to earth with respectful . Ponting started out the slazing in Aussies and ended with Johnson . When your leader is good the follower also becomes good .Aaron finch ,Steve Smith,pat Cummins ,David warner, Mathew wade ,tim Paine all were captains after clarke and they changed the Australian behaviour and they performed with bat and ball not with mouth .Johnson was the worst among all . I truly respect the current Aussies

It hooped in so much, and root tends to get across his line, so in context with the other deliveries, good chance Erasmus thought it hit him outside the line...

[@Bernie8330]

@@2good4name More likely it looked to the naked eye that it was still swinging at the point of impact and therefore the umpire assumes - as he is required to assume - that the ball will remain on its current path. Certainly a fine line between seeing the ball stop swinging and straighten a millimetre prior to hitting. Difficult to pick that up from more than 20 metres away.

Pat Cummins can be one of the best Australian bowlers of all time if he wins the WC !!

[@fitzwilliamdarcy9901]

Root has that one weakness where when he's on the front foot, his head tends to fall over and he loses balance. Couple that with his tendency to lose concentration after a fifty, these are literally the only two weaknesses of his game. He is not too dependent on his wrists like Kohli, nor has an issue with pace like most of the modern day batsmen. If he can tweak his game to nullify these tiny nuances (which aren't too hard to tweak, either), he can be the batsman England deserves. Trust me when I say this - Two years after, Root will be looked upon as an infallible great of Cricket.

[@vivekvenkatsubramaniam437]

He is slightly suspect against the incoming delivery, I think. But his technique against spin is amazing, he bats like a subcontinental batsman against them.

Finch is a good limited overs player, hence not reliable, idk who Khawaja's replacement is going to be, both the Marsh brothers, Travis Head are more suited to limited overs format and they are out of form anyway, Labuschagne is a new kid, so you can't trust him that much, Tim Paine was not much of a batsmen to begin with.
