"Michael Neser and Brendan Doggett are the two who have been replaced for the Adelaide Test"
Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon return to spearhead Australia's attack in the third Ashes Test at Adelaide, but opener Usman Khawaja misses out once more as they eye the urn with a 2-0 lead.
Veteran Pace-Spin Duo Revived
Cummins, sidelined five months by a back injury since the West Indies whitewash, replaces Michael Neser (five-fer at Gabba). Lyon edges out Brendan Doggett (joint-second with seven wickets). The duo boasts 871 Test scalps combined. Australia sticks with Jake Weatherald and Travis Head opening.
Neser and Doggett make way despite form, underlining the big guns' pull. Khawaja's omission raises eyebrows amid batting concerns. With Cummins' fire and Lyon's guile, Aussies aim to seal the series. Indian fans relish any Aussie wobble in this fierce rivalry.
