South Africa will not get any advantage in the World Test Championship, claims former African player

sports desk: The final of the World Test Championship will be played at Lord's from June 11. The finalist teams for this have also been announced. The South African team had already reached the final. Australia defeated the Indian team 3-1 in the Border-Gavaskar series and made it to the final of the World Test Championship.

After South Africa reached the final, former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes believes that South Africa will not get much benefit from fast bowlers in the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's. This match will be fun.

Speaking to the media agency, Rhodes said that I do not think that South Africa will get any benefit. Australian batsmen have a habit of playing fast bowlers. They have a factory of fast bowlers, whom the South African batsmen have to face. I will not say that we are going to get any benefit. Australian batsmen are used to facing fast bowlers and considering this, this will be a great match.

South Africa's fast bowlers have performed brilliantly in this World Test Championship cycle. Kagiso Rabada has taken 37 wickets in eight matches and Marco Janson has taken 29 wickets in seven matches. Rhodes believes that the graph of South African cricket is going upwards. He said that success leads to success. For a long time, South Africa was in the middle of the ICC rankings. Rugby is most popular in South Africa because we have won the World Championship consecutively.

He said that as a player and coach in India, I have seen how success increases the popularity of sports. I hope that with tournaments like the South Africa T20 League and the performance of the Test team, the graph of cricket in South Africa will also go up. The South African team had easily won the match by defeating Pakistan in two matches and reached the finals.
