<p>Brisbane: Pat Cummins said Australia wouldn't hesitate to use the bouncers at "some point" in the third Test following his success in the second Test but India batter Shubman Gill was quick to retort that the Aussie skipper got most "tailenders" with short balls and that India aren't bothered about the warning. </p><p>"Yeah, potentially.
