He used to represent New South Wales in domestic cricket. His cricket career ended very early due to an Achilles injury. Mision played a total of five Test matches for Australia in his one-year international cricket career. His best performance of 4/58 came against the West Indies cricket team at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Also, this was the first match in the history of red ball cricket that ended in a tie. Apart from this, Mission also played 71 first class matches for New South Wales from 1958 to 1964, taking a total of 177 wickets at an impressive average of 31.13. Apart from playing cricket, Mission was also an excellent athlete. He trained with Australian athletics middle-distance coach Percy Cerutti, who was the coach of Herb Elliot. Mission won the gold medal in the 1500 meter race at the 1960 Rome Olympics. The ACA is saddened to hear of the passing of Frank Misson, who played five Tests for Australia (Test Cap #217) alongside 71 First Class games for New South Wales. Our thoughts are with his family and many friends in cricket. pic.twitter.com/rfjgtfSqSU — Australian Cricketers’ Association (@ACA_Players) September 13, 2024 Ian Chappell reacts to the death of Frank Mission So, after the death of Frank Mission, Ian Chappell, while recalling a cricket tour with him, told ESPN Cricinfo- In 1961, the Australian cricket team went on a tour of England by boat. But during this time, Mission was not deprived of his training. As soon as he started running on the deck of the boat for his training, some less intelligent players saw him coming out. Embarrassed by Mission’s passionate workouts, they decided to complicate things for him by placing chairs in his way. But when Mission crossed these obstacles, he was followed by another set of chairs. But later these boys took a lenient approach and left him to do his training in peace.
“I have never won it before, so…”, Pat Cummins is desperate to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
This is a trophy that many players from our group have not been able to win – Pat Cummins Pat Cummins (Photo Source: Team India is going to tour Australia in November for a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Australian team has not won a single Border-Gavaskar Trophy since 2014-15. On the other hand, the Indian team has won the last two series played in Australia, Rohit Sharma and company would like to score a hat-trick by defeating the Kangaroos in the upcoming series as well. Meanwhile, Australian Test captain Pat Cummins says that winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is an unfulfilled dream for most of the team’s players. Cummins has played four Test series against India so far, and he is confident that the team will defeat India at home in the upcoming series. This is a trophy I have never won before- Pat Cummins Pat Cummins, while talking on Fox Cricket, said, This is a trophy I have never won before… It is a trophy that not many players in our group have won. We have achieved some amazing things over the last few years as a Test group. You back yourself to win every series at home. I think you need to try. That is the biggest challenge for us this summer. They are a really good team. We have played them a lot, we know them well and we are in a good position right now. Never regret a break: Cummins Pat Cummins will not be seen playing in the Scotland and England tour. The fast bowler says that he will return refreshed after the break, which will also help his game. Anyone who comes back after a break is a little refreshed. You never regret it. I have been bowling without a break for almost 18 months since the World Test Championship. This will give me a 7 or 8 week break from bowling completely and my body will also recover.
Marnus Labuschagne, who is constantly proving to be a flop in Test cricket, got the support of Pat Cummins.
Labuschagne has scored a century only once in the last 37 Test innings. Marnus Labuschagne (Image Credit- Twitter Australia cricket team’s experienced batsman Marnus Labuschagne is currently going through a very bad phase in Test cricket. So in this bad phase, the cricketer has got full support from his captain Pat Cummins. It is noteworthy that for some time now, Labuschagne has been seen continuously struggling to score runs. In the last 37 Test innings, fans have seen only one century from Labuschagne’s bat. So, his performance in the last 6 innings has been 2, 1, 5, 3, 1* and 10 runs. After this mediocre performance, there is constant talk about his place in the team. However, now Cummins has given a big statement supporting Labuschagne. Out of form Labuschagne got support from Cummins Let us tell you that regarding the poor test form of Marnus Labuschagne, Pat Cummins quoted Fox Sports and said – Not at all. He will be the first player to admit that he just needs to score a few runs to stay in the team. His poor form is not due to lack of practice in the nets. Apparently he was out in the second innings (first Test against New Zealand) due to down leg problem. Cummins further said- We are very clear about our team that these 6 players are the best batsmen of our team. Although sometimes this is not seen, the story of our team has been that when someone needs someone, someone always stands up. Let us tell you that at present Labuschagne is an important member of the Australia team in the two-match Test series against New Zealand. However, it will be worth watching whether he will get a place in the playing eleven of the second Test match against New Zealand starting from March 8 or not?

I don’t think there is anything wrong in this and I am supporting them to do so. In the coming times, we will see that he does not become a part of some bilateral series and foreign tours.
