Cummins had clearly decided to sweep before the ball was bowled and that at a time when protecting wickets was paramount.The sweep shots are fine, and in fact very useful when conditions suit in India, but doing it mindlessly is the problem.
Some real naivety on display, not good enough from Smith, Cummins or other experienced players!
