Lindwall/Miller/Johnston vs Cummins/Hazlewood/Starc

[Johan]

Greater pace attack?

would Lindwall's crew have allowed South Africa's great escape?

Lindwall>Cummins (kinda close)
Miller>Hazlewood (close)
Johnston>Starc (not close)

I don't think it would have been a lot different tbh, with how much the pitch flattened out from day 3 onwards

With how Lindwall and Miller were, they'd see hamstring issues from Temba and rain bouncers to injure them.

Would they be successful though?

Nah, Injured Lord Bavuma would slap around two ATG quality pacemen bowling Psuedo-Bodyline

 

[Thala_0710]

He slapped around Cummins didn't he

 

[Johan]

Bavuma has improved so much I can see him doing it lol

I mean if you're assuming the trio are at their best, then yes they would stop SA. But so would the Cummins trio if they were.
In a one off game, it's anyone guess but on average, I'd bet on SA in those flatter conditions.

I think this is a relatively fair assessment.

Not if they could have got the new ball after 55 overs.
