Australia were humbled by India by 295 runs in the first Test in Perth. Australian captain Pat Cummins has dismissed the suggestions of making any changes to the XI.

Pat Cummins is reluctant to change the playing XI for second Test. 
Despite Australia's superb efforts with the ball in the first innings as the home side bundled India out for 150 runs, Australia had a dismal outing with the bat as they were all-out for only 104 runs, which helped India in demolishing Australia by a massive margin of 295 runs.

The combined total of the Aussie top four batters in the match was 29 runs, which is the lowest total by an Australian top four ever.

“I think after a Test you look at what you think your best match-up is. This is a sample size of one,” he said.

“Four or five days ago we thought this was our best XI. So I dare say ... there won’t be many changes going into Adelaide, but I’m not a selector. I’m sure they’ll get together after the game. We (have) got a bit of work to do over the next 10 days.”

“Marn, along with quite a few guys in the team, didn’t have the week we would have wanted. (But) it’s no secret how hard the batters, particularly Marn, work in the nets. He’s always trying to find those small marginal gains,” he said.

“This week will be a lot of conversation with the coaches around his approach and what he could be doing differently. We know he’s a class player.

“(When he is) at his best, he is one of the scariest propositions for opposition bowlers to bowl at. This week will be about those conversations. He’s done it before over there (and) he’s got a very good pink ball record, so I always think (that) looking back at past successes (and) when you are at your best. (That) is always a pretty good way to get yourself back on track.”
