“He’s got a bit of the Midas touch,” Cummins said of Head’s bowling in the presentation. “I’ll give the credit to coach [bringing him on]Also, we were a little behind on the over rate, so we thought, bring Trav in there, [he] “We might get a breakthrough and get some help in the overs.”
When Head was asked about his significant contribution, he referred to his poor returns with the bat in this Test, where he scored 0 and 1, scoring centuries in Adelaide and Brisbane.
“I’ve taken four-and-a-half days off, I haven’t been involved, I just thought I’d watch the boys bat this week,” he told the host broadcaster. “And it felt good to contribute. I was told I was bowling.” [at tea]Wasn’t very happy about things. We’re a pretty laid-back bunch, [we] Don’t change too much, we knew what we had to do. pat and ronnie [head coach Andrew McDonald] Made plans, had conversations and we were able to go out and execute it.
“it [the Test] there were ups and downs for five days [was] Probably one of the best Test matches I have been involved in. No matter what the outcome was going to be, the two teams were in for a tough fight. There were moments when both teams stepped up, there were moments when they struggled and it’s good that we were able to get the win. It’s been five days.”
When Head was asked about plans specifically for Pant, he joked. “Bowl a rank [long hop] And put everybody on the fence. “I just threw them down there, see what happens, and it changed our path.”
There was also a clarification from Cummins on Head’s wicket celebration, referring to the running joke about putting his spinning finger in a glass of ice.
Starc bowled brilliantly on the final day, taking the wicket of Virat Kohli and Cummins was excited that he would be available for the final Test.
“I’m confident he’ll be fine,” Cummins said. “We’ll reevaluate in a few days. He’s managing a few wounds, mainly a wound on his ribs or something. But he’s a warrior, he keeps moving forward, his pace hasn’t slowed down, he hasn’t Even considering not having the option to bowl, so apart from the pain, he is fully fit and available.”
Should Starc not be right, it would put Jhye Richardson in the running for a recall. Richardson, who played his last Test in the 2021-22 Ashes, was released from the squad on Monday so he can play for Perth Scorchers against Adelaide Strikers on New Year’s Eve and will then join back up in Sydney on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Marsh scored 73 runs at an average of 10.42 in four Test matches and took three wickets at an average of 46.33 in Perth. If the selectors want to make changes, then uncapped all-rounder Beau Webster is part of the squad.
