In fact, Hayden went as far as to say that Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood might have surpassed the iconic Australian pace attack comprising Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, and Jason Gillespie—the trio dominated world cricket for over a decade.

Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood’s relentless pace, unshakable control, and ability to rise in big moments have made them a nightmare for even the best batters in the world. He had also predicted more drama by the trio on Day 3 of the ongoing WTC Final 2025.
The trio might just be Australia’s best-ever pace attack: Matthew Hayden
The Aussie legend continued, “South Africa fought back hard, making this a seesaw contest. It’s been a fantastic Test match so far, and Day 3 promises more drama. Cummins does everything right—he challenges the off stump, uses the slope, and targets the top of the stumps, making batters play constantly. He now has over 300 Test wickets despite not bowling for five and a half years due to injury. That’s extraordinary.”
Matthew Hayden slams rusty batting in WTC Final 2025, warns South Africa need big partnerships
Meanwhile, Matthew Hayden felt the batting from both sides in the WTC Final has been below par. He pointed out that the batters looked rusty, struggling with footwork and getting caught out by movement off the pitch at the Lord’s.
Hayden signed off by saying, “There hasn’t been a single century partnership yet, and that could make a huge difference in the fourth innings. Even if Australia gets a lead of 250, South Africa will need a 100-run stand and another 50-run partnership to stay in the game. Ironically, more wickets have fallen when the sun’s been out, not under overhead conditions.”
