    "editor1": "Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy: Former Australia batter Mike Hussey believes the Pat Cummins-led Test team is right up there as amongst the best sporting teams in the country. Beating India 3-1 to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade has meant Australia are in possession of every bilateral series win, including the 2023 World Test Championship mace.<p>\u201cI think they have got to be right up there, because they\u2019ve won pretty much everything. They\u2019ve won the Ashes. They\u2019ve won World Cups. I know Test cricket is different to white-ball cricket, but in Pat Cummins\u2019 reign, this is the one they didn\u2019t have, beating India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve been able to keep this core group together for a long, long, long period of time. We\u2019ve highlighted the bowling group and the amount of wickets they\u2019ve got together. It\u2019s been incredible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cOnly history will judge it, I guess. I\u2019m not very good at judging different eras, because it\u2019s hard to do, but I think they\u2019re going to be right up there for sure,\u201d said Hussey to Fox Sports on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cummins was entrusted with Australia\u2019s Test captaincy ahead of 2021\/22 Ashes after Tim Paine exited due to an off-field issue, and since then, he has been at the helm of the side winning big in bilateral Test series, apart from an ODI World Cup triumph in India in 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As Australia\u2019s Test skipper, Cummins has picked 130 Test wickets at an average of 23.50, while also winning Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, given to the ICC Men\u2019s Cricketer of the Year, in 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former Australia spinner Kerry O\u2019Keeffe stated Cummins has led the Test side superbly during his tenure, considering many saying they are an ageing side. \u201cIt means a lot because this is a side that, if they do lose, the age of the team will be questioned. The legacy is that age is just a number and we keep winning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As Australia\u2019s Test skipper, Cummins has picked 130 Test wickets at an average of 23.50, while also winning Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, given to the ICC Men\u2019s Cricketer of the Year, in 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
