Australia vs Pakistan: Pat Cummins describes pink-ball Tests as a 'whole different' format compared to red-ball fixtures

Melbourne: Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins feels that pink-ball Tests are going to be almost a different format. “Pink ball is going to be a whole different almost format to what it was out here,” cricket.com.au quoted Cummins as saying.

Since the pink-ball Test concept, Australia have won all the five matches they have played so far. Three of those victories came in Adelaide, the venue where they will take on Pakistan. “It felt like once the ball got soft there wasn’t a lot of sideways movement and they played really nicely, especially when we gave them some width,” Cummins said. “Hopefully Adelaide, our record there is really good, we know the conditions well, it’ll be a bit of a different game, I think,” he added. The second Test between Australia and Pakistan will begin on 29 November.
