Mitchell Starc | PoTM: It's always nice to start the summer off on a positive note with the group. Powerplay wickets are always nice. Positive effort with the ball and we got the job done. Saw it swing away a bit there and we were sloppy on the field. We lost two many wickets and put pressure on us again. It's a big summer with the Test series and 5 more white ball games before that.
Steve Smith: We tried to take it on (boundaries) and kept failing. Good to get over the line. It was (two-paced). Some balls were stopping and some were skidding on quite easily. Not the easiest of wickets but good to get over the line. Felt my balance was good, feeling good about my batting. He (Cummins) batted really nicely under pressure and hopefully he can keep that going for the summer.
21:30 Local Time, 10:30 GMT, 16:00 IST: Cummins it is once again who sees Australia home in a tense chase. Has done that a few times in Test cricket and now does it here at the MCG.
