Steve Waugh Predicts Scott Boland To Be Most Successful For Upcoming Ashes.
Former Australian cricketer Steve Waugh has expressed his belief that Scott Boland has the potential to become Australia’s standout bowler in the upcoming Ashes series. The highly anticipated 2023 Ashes will take place across five different venues in England, commencing on June 16 and concluding on July 31.
Since making his Test debut against England in 2021, Boland, who represents Victoria, has showcased exceptional performance with the ball. He has already claimed 33 wickets at an impressive average of 14.57, which ranks as the third-best average in the history of Test cricket. Additionally, Boland boasts an economy rate of 2.31, the second-best among all seamers over the past four years.
Boland’s significant contributions were evident in Australia’s recent triumph in the World Test Championship (WTC) against India. In the crucial match held at The Oval in London, Boland played a vital role, securing match figures of 5-105. His ability to generate movement off a good length and consistently hit the stumps on seaming wickets has made him a formidable force. Such skills and potential make Boland a valuable asset for Australia’s quest to secure victory in an Ashes series held in England.
Steve Waugh said “He is a great Test-match bowler. He can be the most successful of our attack in this Ashes series. I just love the way he bowls. He is always at the batsman and hits the pitch really hard,”.
