Australia's Historic Bowling Quartet Competes in WTC 2025 Final Against South Africa

Australia's cricket team, led by captain Pat Cummins, has demonstrated exceptional performance in the 2023-2025 ICC World Test Championship cycle, securing 13 wins out of 19 matches and finishing second on the points table. The team's legendary bowling quartet—Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon—has collectively taken over 1,508 Test wickets and aims to win their first world title together in the WTC final against South Africa. Cummins, who is close to reaching 300 Test wickets, anchors a squad blending experienced players and emerging talent, including Scott Boland and Cameron Green. The quartet's longevity is notable, having played 33 Tests together, and they are celebrated as one of the finest bowling combinations in Test history. Australia seeks to defend their WTC title at Lord’s with hopes of holding the WTC mace for a second consecutive time, underscoring their status as one of the world's best teams across varying conditions. While the bowling unit has faced some defeats, their collective achievements and impact on the game have earned them a place in discussions about the greatest Test bowling attacks ever.
