Someone Like Stubbs Can Be An X-factor For South Africa In WTC Final, Says Hayden
ICC World Test Championship: Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden believes Tristan Stubbs can become the x-factor for South Africa in the upcoming ICC World Test Championship final against Australia, citing his playing style similarity with ex-England batter Kevin Pietersen.
Stubbs had batted at number five for South Africa in their recent warm-up game against Zimbabwe at Arundel and could bat at that same position when they face Australia in the WTC final at Lord’s from June 11-15. In nine Tests, Stubbs has scored 500 runs at an average of 33.33, including two centuries and a fifty.
“Someone like Tristan Stubbs, I think, can be a bit of an X-factor. Similar to the way that Kevin Peterson was in the England side against Australia, who can come out, start to dominate,” said Hayden to Star Sports.
