WTC Final: Anderson Feels Rabada Against Smith Could Be An Interesting Battle
World Test Championships Final: Ahead of the all-important World Test Championship (WTC) final between Australia and South Africa at Lord's starting on Wednesday, legendary pacer James Anderson is excited to watch the duel between speedster Kagiso Rabada and right-handed batter Steve Smith.
South Africa's pace attack will be led by Rabada along with Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen, while Australia are likely to boast a pace trio of captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood. On the seaming Lord's track, the result of the one-off Test is likely to be dictated by the pacers from both teams.
"Here is definitely somewhere you need to pitch the ball up. A lot of people talk about the top of the off-stump being the ideal length, but I think here it's more than three-quarters up the stump. That way you are a little bit fuller in length, so that's my advice for the seamers," Anderson, who has claimed 123 wickets at Lord's across 29 Test appearances, said during an event at Lord's.
