WTC Final: Proteas Top-order Should Look To Put Pressure Back On Aussie Bowlers, Says Ponting
ICC World Test Championship: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes South Africa’s batters need to adopt a more aggressive approach against Australia’s bowlers when they return to the crease on Friday in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final at Lord’s.
On a thrilling second day in London, Kagiso Rabada and South Africa’s formidable pace attack showcased their quality, staging a strong comeback with the ball after the team was bowled out for just 138 in the first innings.
Now, with a chance to redeem themselves, South Africa face a high-stakes run chase on Friday in their bid to win the one-off Test. Ponting noted that both teams have been too cautious against the new ball and urged South Africa’s batters to take the initiative, play with intent and put Australia’s bowlers under pressure from the outset.
