South Africa v Australia - 2nd Test: Day 4

#1. Josh Hazlewood

2nd Test - Australia v India: Day 4

Hazlewood had a tremendous start to his Test career, and he has very good numbers to back it up. However, the tall fast bowler is struggling with his rhythm in the current Test series and hasn’t lived up to his potential.

The release points of the 27-year old have been fairly wide from the stumps on most of the occasions, which wasn’t the case when he burst onto the international scene. He created a lot of trouble for the batsmen when he came close to the stumps and that’s where he picked up his wickets predominantly.

Though Hazlewood has been economical, Australia would be hoping for a match-winning five-for from him to level the series and end the tour on a high.
