Mumbai: Former Australian cricketer Aaron Finch exclusively speaking to Star Sports, shares his thoughts on Australian skipper Pat Cummins growth as a leader ahead of the big SA vs AUS clash in the ICC World Test Championship 2025 Final:
“Pat Cummins’ captaincy is outstanding. He keeps improving day after day. He’s shown an ability to lead a team, not just on the field, but off the field. And that’s a huge part of captaining an international team. Your ability to bring everything together at the right time. His partnership with Andrew McDonald, the coach, has been super for Australian cricket.”
Former Australian Cricketer Aaron Finch exclusively speaking to Star Sports, on Australia and South Africa have similar bowling attacks:
“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 Nigidi, 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.”
