Cummins could have won it for the team. At a stage he nearly did by hitting a 6 in the dying stages of the match but the over that he bowled was really shocking. How could he bowl short and wide to Umar Akmal? He also tried bowling bouncers which is really astounding. He pretty much threw away the match at that point. George Bailey should have let Mitchell Starc bowl. He would have made an attempt to keep things tight.
Its really suprising that Australia do have a capable T20 team but its just not clicking for them at the moment. I think they should include Shaun Marsh in the T20 team. He is a genuine strokemaker in this format and it suits him. He should be dropped from the national team just because he did bad in tests. They should judge each player according the particular format that they are playing in. Australia need to look to strengthen their middle order.
