Analysis: Josh Hazlewood has stamped his mark on the SCG Test – and Australia will be hoping his searching spells are emblematic of his fortunes in 2023
, Hazlewood has played just 11 of Australia’s 24 Tests, in between hamstring and side issues.
In an opening spell of 6-1-11-1 from the Paddington End, Hazlewood created three and a bit chances, torturing the Proteas’ captain Dean Elgar as his teammates had done in Brisbane and Melbourne. It wasn’t just the new ball that Hazlewood used smartly, either. Coming back after tea and a long tandem between Nathan Lyon and Ashton Agar, he followed a tight first over to Khaya Zondo with a classical fifth stump teaser to coax an edge from Temba Bavuma. Were a sixpence to be dropped onto a length, Hazlewood’s odds of finding it on request would be short.
