Delhi: The World Test Championship Final at Lord’s was not special for Australia just because he had to defend his title, through this final, it was also to find out how much he was ready for the next Ashes. The most special look was on the attack of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood.

The best attack in history

He can be called one of the best attacks in Test history, not today’s cricket, but the question is whether Australia should play ashes with them even in their growing age? Australia had to find an answer to this question in the World Test Championship final.

Increasing age shows an impact on every player

Increasing age shows an effect on every player, no matter how big and perfect he is? Therefore, if there was a question in Australia on the ‘Nip’ of these four, then it is not surprising. Australia lost this final and now the reason for the defeat is being searched. It is not surprising to raise questions on these ‘Char’ in the list that is in discussion. However, these were the bowlers who brought Australia back on the match despite being dismissed in the first innings and Australia started the second innings with a 74 -run lead.

The top 6 bowlers in the 2023-25 ​​World Test Championship Round are 4 Australia’s four: Cummins (80 wickets, number 1 in the list), Stark (77 wickets, number 2 in the list and Bumrah), Lion (66 wickets, number 3 in the list, number 3) and Hazlewood (59 wickets, number 5 in the list, number 5 in the list and his and their lions. Therefore, no one can say that in this round of the championship, there was a shortage from these four side.

One of the greatest and best attack

Pat Cummins (age 32 years), Mitchell Starc (age 35 years), Josh Hazlewood (age 34 years) and off -spinner Nathan Leone (age 37) have a total of 1522 Test wickets and no one understands cricket, without any problem, it will call it one of the greatest and best attacks of Test cricket. If you do not go back too much, then directly comparison is from Australia from Glenn McGrag, Gilespie, Brett Lee and Shane Warne and Dale Stan, Morne Morkel, Vernon Philander and Jacks Kallis from South Africa. If you go backward, then there are also attacks from West Indies and England.

One of the best bowling attack

However, despite the final defeat of the final, these four, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon will not be wrong from any perspective, to say one of the best bowling attacks playing together in Test history. Three of these have crossed the count of 300 wickets and fourth have been very close to this count. When we talk about all time Best, then it is compared to Glenn Macgra, Brett Lee, Jason Gillespie and Warne.

Africa team lost only 2 Test matches out of 18

If Australia lost 9 out of 33 Tests with Stark, Cummins, Hazlewood and Leon, then only 2 out of 16 Tests with McGrag, Li, Gillespie and Warne. Similarly, South Africa team with attacks of Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Vernon Philander and Jacques Kallis lost only 2 Tests out of 18.

The title bringing the title is not won

A big fun record, which no one paid attention to, is that Cummins, Stark, Hazelwood and Lyon have never won the title to bring the title for Australia. It was a very good opportunity that he missed on changing this record in Lord’s. However, this record has neither less contribution of these four to Australia’s recent success nor the right to be counted one of all time best attacks.
