Kagiso Rabada, Mitchell Starc Break Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami's Records With WTC Final Heroics
Pacers dominated Day 1 of the ICC World Test Championship final at Lord's. Mitchell Starc broke a long-standing record held by Mohammed Shami with his exploits on the opening day. Kagiso Rabada recorded 5/51, marking his 50th wicket against Australia in Test cricket. The first day of the ICC World Test Championship final 2025 in England truly belonged to pacers, with the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Marco Jansen, and Josh Hazlewood running riot. As many as 14 wickets fell on the first day of the match, putting Australia in the driving seat. As pacers ran riot at the Lord's Cricket Ground on Wednesday, some big records were broken. The likes of Rabada and Starc went on to etch their name in history with their performance on the opening day of the clash. As Rabada produced figures of 5/51 on Day 1 of the WTC final, he completed 50 wickets against Australia in Test cricket. In the process, the paceman broke a massive record held by Jasprit Bumrah, becoming the player with the best strike-rate of all against the defending champions in the WTC final. Among players with 50 or more wickets against Australia, Rabada now has the best strike rate (SR) of all. The Proteas pacer has a strike-rate of 38. The only other pacer with a strike-rate of under 40 is Bumrah. Australia speedster Mitchell Starc now holds the record of most wickets by a bowler in ICC finals, surpassing India's Mohammed Shami. The veteran Indian pacer had picked up 10 wickets in six innings when it came to ICC finals, before being leapfrogged by the Australian, who now has 11. Remember, Starc has one more innings to go in the match. Starc took two wickets in the ODI World Cup final against New Zealand in 2015 and was also at the center of destruction for Australia against India in the 2023 World Test Championship final. Against Rohit Sharma 's men, Starc had bagged a four-for. Adding to it, the southpaw claimed three wickets in the ODI World Cup 2023 final against India, and already has two scalps to his name in the WTC final.

It was Rabada's 5/51 in 15.4 overs which proved to be pivotal, as he dismissed Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green with stunning deliveries. Meanwhile, Steve Smith got a battling fifty but lost his wicket to part-time spinner Aiden Markram.

Speaking ahead of the first session on Day 2, Webster said, 'Had a bit of luck no doubt in the first 20-30 balls. Felt they came really hard at us. Managed to get through that period and got a total on the board. I've played a little bit over here in County cricket, different level obviously. With Rabada and Jansen coming in here, it was very tough. Just stuck to my gameplan which has worked for me the last 3-4 years. I'd be angry if I went away from it. Obviously some minor adjustments here and there with the conditions and the slope. There's plenty there (in the pitch). We saw in the last session the ball is still nibbling around. Starcy had it on a string. The ball nipping up the slope is the tricky one. The delivery that bowled Stubbsy obviously nipped up the slope. When it's doing that it's tricky for the batter. Our bowling attack's been so strong over a number of years. We know if we don't get it done with the bat, the big guys can certainly get it done with the ball.'

Ponting lauds Webster's resilience on opening day of WTC25 Final
London, June 12 (UNI) ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting has heaped praise on Aussie all-rounder Beau Webster, who came to the rescue in Australia's first innings of the WTC25 Final. 'He just looked completely ready,' Ponting said. Those were the words of Aussie great Ricky Ponting, referring to fellow Tasmanian Beau Webster making the step up to Test cricket. And 'ready' is exactly the word that sums up what Webster has displayed in his limited Test career so far, having been tasked with making critical runs under intense pressure more than once already. The towering all-rounder made his Test debut in a pressure cooker series-deciding Test in Sydney against India at the start of this year, scoring a crucial 57 in his maiden innings in the format, coming to the crease with his side in all sorts at 39/4, still 146 runs behind and facing a large first innings deficit. The knock helped Australia scratch and claw their way to a first innings score of 181, helping the hosts set up an opportunity to grind out a tough victory over the Indians. And under the bright lights of the Ultimate Test, at Lord's no less, Webster did it again. In what is just his fourth Test, the 31-year-old negotiated a tough early period, and compiled a gutsy 72 off 92 balls, top scoring for Australia and ensuring his side posted a competitive total of 212 runs on a tricky deck against world-class bowling. The performance has earned high profile praise. 'You take those 70 odd runs out, that scorecard looks a whole lot different,' Ricky Ponting told ICC Digital after Australia's first innings. 'I think that says a lot about how comfortable he is in his own game right now and even the comfort he has of being in the Australian middle order," he said. 'The thing I liked about that today was, although Australia were in a little bit of trouble, wickets were falling… (Webster) was able to go out there and maintain his own natural style of play and play the way that he wanted to play and try and be aggressive and try and put some pressure back on the South African bowlers,' Ponting said. Webster's 72 led the way for Australia, with Steve Smith also contributing with a hard-fought 66 in just under three hours at the crease. Keeper Alex Carey was the next highest scorer with 23 runs, as South Africa cleaned up the tail to make a day one statement. The Proteas were led by Kagiso Rabada's 5/51, which included the eventual dismissal of Webster. 'The other thing (is that) although the wicket was doing something and we know the Dukes ball will do something early June in the UK, it just goes to show that if you do get in and get set like Smith and and Beau did that regardless of the conditions you can still make some big scores,' Ponting continued. Australia fought back valiantly in the final session of the Ultimate Test's opening day, taking four wickets to prove just how tough conditions were for batters. The Proteas, who won the toss and opted to bowl first, were 43/4 at stumps, now facing a similar assignment to the one that Australia faced – and ultimately dug their way out of – when action resumes at the top of day two.
