Australia vs New Zealand Live Score: Cummins speaks
Australia vs New Zealand Live Score: Pat Cummins on Australia's resurgence
“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. Bowling- everyone's been really open-minded, tried different things; trying bouncers, different fields, one over spells and it's just been a real buy-in from the whole team and yeah, it's been fantastic last few games. That's a standard we want to keep going with for the rest of tournament.”
