The advent of Pat Cummins’ reign as Australia’s Test captain is the focus of the second season of The Test, Amazon’s behind-the-scenes documentary on the Aussie cricket team.
The four-part second season will be available on Amazon’s Prime Video from early next year and encompasses a 4-0 hammering of England that saw Australia retain the Ashes last summer.
The series also delves in a narrow win during Australia’s first Test series in Pakistan for 24 years and a difficult Test series in crisis-torn Sri Lanka.

All of the above takes place at ‘a tumultuous time for leadership on the Australian men’s cricket team’, set against the backdrop of Tim Paine’s resignation as captain and Justin Langer’s acrimonious departure.
A trailer released on Tuesday by Amazon Prime Video opens up with a clip narrated by Mitchell Marsh.
‘We don’t own the Baggy Green,’ he says.
‘We understand the privilege we have to wear the Baggy Green.’
The trailer includes footage of Travis Head slamming his bat in the locker room after being dismissed in Galle, while David Warner angrily slams a fridge door in the same Test.
Australia won the first Test in Galle by 10 wickets, but suffered a calamitous innings defeat in the second match at the same venue.
Meanwhile, Nathan Lyon describes one of the Tests against Pakistan as ‘the worst I’ve ever been involved in’.
High-scoring draws in Rawalpindi and Karachi – where Pakistan batted 171 overs to save the match – were followed by a 115-run win in Lahore, as Australia won a Test series in Asia for the first time in 11 years.
