The top-ranked Test team in the world was beaten at Perth Stadium over the four days scoring only 104 in response to India's 150 in the opening innings.

A run chase of 534 was all but unachievable after India declared at 487-6 30 minutes before the end of the third day.

I think you sit in the change room after a loss like that and it hurts," Cummins said.

When a team declares on you it's never an amazing feeling. We've all been in these situations before. It's the nature of professional sport you're going to lose some games.

The biggest challenge and most important thing is how do you bounce back?

So that's what we have to do this week. Clearly we were off the mark there's a lot to work on.

The most important thing is there are four Test matches to come and how do we make sure we don't be in this position again."

Australia has performed quite well in the pink ball format and the next test will take place under the lights next week in Adelaide.

According to Cummins they will probably go to the city sooner than anticipated in order to work on fixing the bowling and batting problems that cost them in Perth.

Despite Marnus Labuschagne Marnus Labuschagne's poor record and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh Mitchell Marsh's niggles he does not anticipate much, if any, changes.

"I think after every test you always look at what you think your best match is," he said.

We thought this was our best 11 so I dare say there won't be many changes going into Adelaide but I'm not a selector.

I'm sure they'll get together after the game but not today and we have a lot of work to do in the next 10 days.
