With the final set to take place at the historic Lord\u2019s Cricket Ground against South Africa, Cummins is clear-eyed about what\u2019s brought his team this far: trust, composure, and a belief in shared responsibility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt takes a whole army really,\u201d Cummins told cricket.com.au, acknowledging the efforts of not just the 15-plus players who have featured in this WTC cycle, but also the backroom staff. \u201cThere\u2019s a real trust and calmness in the group that comes from having success over the last couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"You need players across different conditions, different injuries, and the pleasing thing as well is we've had quite a few debutants in this cycle who have stepped up and really made a name for themselves. There's a real trust and calmness in the group that comes from having success over the last couple of years. The Christchurch victory, with Alex Carey getting 98 not out, we had no right to win that match, but we found a way. And last summer, the MCG was one of the great Test matches \u2013 late on day five, out of nowhere, we found a way of winning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"When the moments get tense yeah there's a real want for players to stand up and a real trust from others that they will.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia\u2019s unbeaten run in Test series over this cycle includes away victories in Sri Lanka and New Zealand, the retention of the Ashes in England, and home series wins against Pakistan and India. These results have set up a golden chance to make history: no team has yet defended the WTC mace.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Cummins ranks the 2023 ODI World Cup win in India as his \u201cnumber one\u201d achievement, he places the WTC title just behind: \u201cThe mace means a lot. It shows you\u2019ve been the best over years, across conditions. It\u2019s something we can point to now and be proud of for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
