Australia’s Bowlers Have The Edge Over Proteas, Having Played More Tests In English Conditions: Finch
ICC World Test Championship: Former cricketer Aaron Finch believes Australia’s bowling attack have the edge over South Africa ahead of the ICC World Test Championship final owing to the current mace holders having more experience of playing Tests in England as a collective unit.
The third World Test Championship final, featuring reigning champions Australia and first-time finalists South Africa will be played at Lord's from June 11-15. "I think both teams are very similarly matched with their bowling attacks. You look at Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Jos Hazlewood, Scott Boland, they're probably the four front runners at this stage, along with Nathan Lyon.
"And then you've got Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj. So I think they both match up so closely together, but I'd give Australia just the edge, having probably played more test cricket as a bowling group in the English conditions," said Finch to Star Sports.
