Joydeep: "As I said before right before the tea Pat Cummins is a tom cruise of cricket with his agility his inswing bowl like a train he's improving it by bowling like a train gets the first 5 wicket haul in this series by any bowler". He's done Mission Impossible in the eyes of a lot of people on these batting friendly wickets, to take a five-wicket haul. But he's shown a lot of class and skill during the second and third Tests.
