ADELAIDE, DEC 8: Pat Cummins warned India that Australia are pumped up and back to their best as they look to carry the momentum from a commanding 10-wicket win on Sunday into the next Test in Brisbane.
After being thumped by 295 runs in Perth, the hosts responded emphatically at Adelaide to wipe out Rohit Sharma's men inside three days and leave the five-match series evenly poised at 1-1.
They did so without injured frontline bowler Josh Hazlewood, who appears on track to play the third Test at the Gabba starting on Saturday.
"Great week, great to level the series. You know, I think we were back to our best," said skipper Cummins, who took 5-57 and seven wickets for the match.
"That's the kind of team that I remember, and how we want to play our cricket. So really satisfying."
The defeat in Perth and negative media coverage made their eighth consecutive pink-ball win in Adelaide taste even better, he added. —AFP
