MCC suspends three members as apology given to Australia players
"The crowd certainly made themselves known, in the Long Room and also out there," Cummins reflected after Australia won by 43 runs to move 2-0 up in the series.
"Other than that one time, they were fantastic all week. The members here are normally fantastic, really welcoming. "I don't think it hurts any more than normal. I think just standards that are held by the members are maybe a bit different to what you expect from certain members of the crowd at Edgbaston.Cummins condemned the actions of the MCC members but doesn't want it to lead to a change in the route players take from changing room to pitchCummins did not see the alleged physical contract which a Cricket Australia spokesperson referenced.
