"It's a beautiful stadium. I thought I had been here, but I don't think I have."

Cummins Sees World Cup As Physically Taxing For Bowlers

Australia captain Pat Cummins described the World Cup as the "most physically taxing" format for fast bowlers as batsmen pile up record scores around India. "It's actually quite a physical format, I find it probably the most physically taxing if you're playing two or three games in a week," said Cummins ahead of their second World Cup match against South Africa on Thursday.

Cummins said his team will be ready for familiar foes South Africa.

The Proteas won a recent series between the two teams 3-2 after trailing 0-2.

"It always feels like it's a clash of two very similar teams," said Cummins.

"So yeah, no doubt it will be another great game tomorrow. We always match up quite similarly against them."
