WTC Final: Match Is 80 Pc In Australia’s Favour Because Of SA’s Lack Of Intent, Feels Hayden
World Test Championship: Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden criticised South Africa's "lack of intent" on the opening day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at Lord's.
Temba Bavuma's side won the toss and opted to bowl first against the reigning champion. The Proteas pacers made the most of the opportunity and exploited the conditions to dismiss Australia for 212 in their first innings. Pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada returned with the figures of 5-51 in 15.4 overs while Marco Jansen bagged three scalps to break the back of Australia's batting line-up.
However, things were no different for South Africa as Mitchell Starc took two top-order wickets and combined with fellow quicks Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood to reduce South Africa to 43 for four at the close, trailing by 169 runs.
