澳大利亚对节礼日测试做出两项改变，帕特·康明斯消除了特拉维斯头部受伤的恐慌

澳大利亚队长帕特·康明斯坚称特拉维斯·海德已经克服了伤病恐惧，并且将有能力参加对阵印度的节礼日测试。

Australian captain Pat Cummins has confirmed Travis Head will play in the Boxing Day Test against India despite an injury scare.

澳大利亚队长帕特·康明斯确认特拉维斯·海德将参加节礼日对阵印度的测试赛，尽管他受到了伤病困扰。

Cummins won the toss and elected to bat on Thursday, with Head coming into the match as Australia's most important batter after belting centuries in the last two Tests.

康明斯在周四的掷骰中获胜并选择击球，海德在过去两次测试中打出了几个世纪的成绩后，作为澳大利亚最重要的击球手进入了比赛。

The 30-year-old got through a series of sprints and net sessions over the last couple of days, with Cummins saying on Christmas Day that he'll play in the fourth Test without any injury concerns.

这位30岁的球员在过去几天里完成了一系列冲刺和网前训练，康明斯在圣诞节当天表示，他将参加第四次测试，没有任何伤病问题。

"Travis is good to go, he'll play. He ticked off some final things today and yesterday, but no stress, no worries about injury for Trav," Cummins said after training on Christmas Day.

“特拉维斯状态很好，他会参加比赛。他在今​​天和昨天完成了一些最后的事情，但没有压力，不用担心特拉维斯受伤，”康明斯在圣诞节训练后说道。

"He'll go into the game fully fit. I don't think you'll see too much management of him throughout the game ... maybe around fielding if he's a bit uncomfortable."

“他会以完全健康的状态进入比赛。我认为你不会在整场比赛中看到对他的太多管理......如果他有点不舒服的话，也许会在防守方面。”

Cummins said Head's pressure on the opposition is evident from the moment he walks out to bat.

康明斯表示，从海德上场击球的那一刻起，他对对手的压力就显而​​易见。

"You can see the pressure that he shifts back onto the opposition, literally from the first ball that he walks out there,” Cummins said.

“你可以看到他将压力转移回对手身上，从他走出去的第一个球就可以看出，”康明斯说。

Head comes into the Boxing Day Test averaging 81.80 across the first three Tests of the Border-Gavaskar series so far, with 409 runs to his name.

迄今为止，Head 参加节礼日测试时，在 Border-Gavaskar 系列的前三场测试中平均得分为 81.80，其中跑出 409 分。

The Aussies have made two changes from the starting XI at the Gabba, with 19-year-old Sam Konstas replacing Nathan McSweeney at opener and local hero Scott Boland coming in for injured quick Josh Hazlewood.

澳大利亚队在加巴球场的首发阵容上做出了两次调整，19岁的萨姆·康斯塔斯在揭幕战中取代了内森·麦克斯威尼，当地英雄斯科特·博兰则替换了受伤的快攻乔什·黑兹尔伍德。

Cummins said the heat in Melbourne will be a factor in the decision-making of whichever captain wins the toss.

康明斯表示，墨尔本的炎热天气将成为决定哪位队长获胜的一个因素。

"It (the heat) is another layer - you get to the ground tomorrow, you look at the pitch," he said.

“它（热量）是另一层 - 你明天到达地面，你看看球场，”他说。

"You get a bit of a sense of what (sort of) day it's going to feel like and make a decision from there. It is a factor ... I don't think it scares us too much."

“你会对今天的感觉有所了解，并从那里做出决定。这是一个因素......我认为它不会让我们太害怕。”

Cummins and coach Andrew McDonald have both suggested that the MCG pitch has been a 'bowl-first' wicket in recent years and were happy with the state of it after an inspection on Christmas Day.

康明斯和教练安德鲁·麦克唐纳都表示，MCG 球场近年来一直是“碗优先”的三柱门，并且在圣诞节检查后对其状况感到满意。

But the fact temperatures are expected to get close to 40C at the MCG on day one of the fourth Test made it an even more crucial toss to win, with Cummins deciding to bat on Thursday after the coin landed his way.

但事实上，第四次测试的第一天，MCG 的气温预计将接近 40 摄氏度，这使得投掷硬币获胜变得更加关键，康明斯在硬币落地后决定在周四击球。

The last thing Head needed if there was even the smallest hint of concern around his quad is to field all day in the sweltering heat at the MCG and putting even more strain on his body.

如果海德的股四头肌出现哪怕是哪怕是最轻微的担忧，海德最不需要的就是在 MCG 的酷热环境中整天训练，这会给他的身体带来更大的压力。

Cummins would have also surely been reluctant to ask his bowlers and fielders to have to battle through the oppressive and energy-sapping conditions expected on day one.

康明斯肯定也不愿意要求他的投球手和外野手必须在第一天预计的压抑和消耗能量的条件下进行战斗。

However, Cummins says the Aussies would be ready for whatever eventuates after Thursday morning's toss after pointing to the hot and humid conditions they battled through in the washed out third Test at the Gabba.

然而，康明斯表示，在周四早上的比赛之后，澳大利亚队将做好准备，应对周四早上的比赛后发生的任何情况，因为他们在加巴的第三次测试中经历了炎热和潮湿的环境。

"We had a taste of it in Brisbane, it was pretty hot and humid there. I think we're prepared for whatever comes our way, whether we're bowling or batting first," Cummins said.

“我们在布里斯班尝到了这种滋味，那里非常炎热和潮湿。我认为我们已经做好了应对一切的准备，无论我们先打保龄球还是击球，”康明斯说。

"We'll get to the ground tomorrow, have a look at the pitch and make a decision from there."

“我们明天将到达现场，看看球场，然后做出决定。”

Cummins is also hoping the Aussies can stop India from winning a third straight Test at the MCG, having not lost at the ground since 1985.

康明斯还希望澳大利亚队能够阻止印度队在 MCG 测试中连续第三次获胜，印度队自 1985 年以来从未在地面上失利。

"It's a huge Test for us, we haven't lost here at the MCG since '85, so we want to keep that record going," Cummins said.

“这对我们来说是一次巨大的考验，自 85 年以来我们在 MCG 就没有输过，所以我们希望保持这个记录，”康明斯说。

"They've won the last two here, so we're really keen to turn that around and get back into the series."

“他们在这里赢得了最后两场比赛，所以我们真的很想扭转局面，重返系列赛。”
