WTC Final: Matthew Hayden criticizes South Africa’s approach, says that he needs to show more intentions against Australia on day 2

Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden commented in one day in the ICC World Test Championship final at Lord’s between Australia and South Africa, emphasizing that Protiaz needs to show more batting intentions on two days. Australia ended at 212, while South Africa fought 43–4 in stumps, Caziso Rabada claimed five wickets for Protiaz and Mitchell Starc Strike twice for Australia.Steve Smith scored 66 runs and Bu Webster contributed 72 runs for Australia, the only important batting performance of the day. Rabada ended with 5/51 figures, while Marco Jansen took 3/49.South Africa won the first season, reduced Australia to 67/4, but lost speed with the progress of the day. Australia strongly bounced in the final season, both took nine wickets in the innings.

“I am not completely convinced that it was Australia’s day. South Africa won the first season, and Australia’s return in the final season-already surprised in all.Hayden criticized South African captain Bavuma’s approach, with a slow start to open his account on the 31st ball. “And this is dangerous when they face three world-class fast bowlers under suit conditions. They need to come out with more intentions on day 2. Any signs of aggression-even a few boundaries in the day-but if they do not do it-but if they do not do, Australia will come as a firm in day 2.”Quiz: Who is that IPL player?Former Indian all -rounder Sanjay Bangar believed that the day was from Australia. “With the amount of seam movement on this pitch, the scoreboard does not reflect an equal score. Australia is in a strong position,” Bangar said.Bangar also commented on South Africa’s approach, suggesting that he needs positive intentions and proper footwork. “Steve Smith was extraordinary-when the situation was difficult, he pushed the pressure back on the bowlers. In addition, a person like NGIDI had a day and leaked. The Australian bowlers did not give any width. If South Africa wants to score a square, they must first find a way to make that width-and it comes with intentions, “he said.Australia’s innings saw a significant 79 -run partnership between Smith and Webster, followed by the 46 -run stand with Alex Kerry to score 23 runs.South Africa’s response was poor, out of which no batsman reached 20 runs. Mitchell Starc claimed two wickets, while Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood took one -one.In stumps, South Africa scored 169 runs with six wickets in their first innings.
