WTC Final: If We Batted Another Session, The Conditions Would've Helped Us A Little More, Says Cummins
World Test Championship: After Australia’s quest to retain their International Cricket Council (ICC) World Test Championship title ended in a five-wicket defeat to South Africa at Lord’s, skipper Pat Cummins said things would have been different for his team if they had batted for another session in the one-off important clash.
Despite taking a 74-run first-innings lead, Australia couldn’t stop South Africa from chasing down 282 on Saturday afternoon. "Things can change pretty quickly, but unfortunately, it was a bridge too far. I think there are always a few things. Having a pretty decent first innings lead, I think that's where you want to bat the opposition out of the game, and we didn't quite do that."
"If we batted another session, the conditions would've helped us a little more. They were fantastic in that fourth innings. There wasn't a lot in the wicket, but they didn't give us a chance. SA showed why they're here and are deserved winners, they kept themselves in the game throughout," said a dejected Cummins in the post-match presentation ceremony.
