With World Test Championship (WTC) Final between Australia And South Africa Approaching, cricket experts are locked up in debate on team selections. Such a voice – revised and known for its analytical sense – is the former head coach of India Ravi ShastriWho recently shared its reflections on how Australia should shape their range of bowling alley for Lord’s high pressure confrontation.
Speaking on the ICC review, Shastri highlighted the importance of horses for lessons – and in this case, supported the Aussie Pace star for a place in the game game for the confrontation of the long -awaited summit.
Ravi Shastri reveals why Australia should choose Josh Hazlewood for the WTC final
Shastri sustained Josh Hazlewood To choose from the game game, provided that it is in good shape, highlighting two key factors: the relevance of the English conditions and the unique slope in Lord’s. He makes a comparison between Hazlewood and the legendary Australian stimulator Glenn McGrathNoting in particular how McGrath prospered in Lord thanks to its ability to effectively use the slope from the end of the comments. By suggesting this, Shastri emphasizes the Hazlewood McGrath type bowling style – precise, disciplined and ideal to exploit such conditions – by making it a precious asset on this place.
“If Hazlewood is able to do so, he will certainly get the head sign for two reasons. First, the English conditions, two, lord’s with the slope. And the reason I say that Lord’s slope is Hazlewood is very compared to Glenn McGrath. And you just have to check the record of Glenn McGrath at Lord’s, with the slope around and the bowling of the end of the Comment box, “ said Shastri.
Shastri stressed that Hazlewood’s height allows it to reproduce the effectiveness of McGrath, especially in slower English conditions. He pointed out that, unlike the Australian terrains, the surfaces of England require questions to extract the rebound at the height, something that Hazle naturally possessed.
“I think Hazlewood can do something similar with its size. The locations are not as fast as in Australia. So you need this little height and rebound, that it will get”, “ Adding the former India cricket player.

Shastri supports the strategy with four runners on grassy terrains
Shastri has suggested that if the terrain has enough grass and offers favorable conditions for sewing bowling, the ideal strategy would be to include the four Couturiers of the XI. The presence of grass generally indicates the movement out of the surface, which benefits rapid quasses, and Shastri estimated that in such a scenario, the maximization of the rhythm attack would be the best tactical approach.
“Ideally, you want to play the four (seams) if you have half a chance and if there is a little more grass on the surface,” Shastri concluded.
