Josh Hazlewood gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the Border-Gavaskar series, Josh Hazlewood said in a discussion with The Australian – We (Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood) played together last year, but it was probably only once. You have to take it as it comes. Because this is not T20 or ODI, you are going to bowl 4 or 10 overs. It is like in bowling you can sometimes bowl 25 or sometimes 50 overs. Therefore, there is no point in planning for it now. If you are fit to play then play and if not then don’t play. It’s as simple as that, no one rests in a Test match and if you are ready to go the day before, you play and if you are not, you sit. We’ve got a lot going on with the addition of some people who we know can do a really good job.

Whoever looks in good form on that particular day, we just try to rotate the strike and let them play as many balls as they can. Smriti Mandhana is hitting the spinners quite well, so that is a positive sign. We just try to give a good start to the team which results in a good innings and in the end we are able to put a good score on the board. So, our aim is just to perform well for our team and support our strengths. I think we have got used to the conditions here, maybe that’s why we are able to run well between the wickets. But we just try to take the first run fast, because the field here is very big, it is about 70 meters, if I am not mistaken. So we try to take the first run quickly. Very difficult to hit a six, but keen to take quick singles.
