Matthew Hayden Urges Australia To Embrace Lord's History: 'We've Always...'
Last Updated: Matthew Hayden believes Pat Cummins' team will benefit from understanding Lord's history in the ICC World Test Championship 2025 final against South Africa. Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden believes that the team led by Pat Cummins will benefit from understanding and appreciating the history of the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. He feels this knowledge will serve them well against South Africa in the ICC World Test Championship 2025 final, starting on June 11. Australia has played 40 Tests at Lord's from 1884 to 2023, winning 18 times, losing seven, and drawing 15 games. Their win-loss ratio at this historic venue stands at 2.571. Australia aims to defend the WTC title they claimed at The Oval in 2023 during the one-off match against South Africa at Lord's from June 11-15. 'It's a great dynamic position to have coming into just one test, and that's why I think experience is really key," said Hayden on Star Sports on Saturday. 'Guys knowing each other's games well, knowing the venue well, almost like getting back into the driving seat of your vehicle without having to change or alter the line-up because someone else has been in it. All those comfort zones, plus the connection that Australia naturally has to the home of cricket. advetisement 'When you think about the famous tussles with England and Australia, you probably go to two venues: Boxing Day in Melbourne and Lord's in England. From a young age, we've always understood how special that venue is and its history, and Australia embraces that very well," he added. Lord's is the third venue in England to host the WTC finals, after the Rose Bowl in Southampton and The Oval. This iconic cricket ground is also set to host the third England-India Test from July 10-14. About the Author Cricketnext Staff First Published: June 08, 2025, 11:54 IST
