Proteas premier fast bowler Kagiso Rabada says all he had to do was block out the noise and do what he knows best in day one of the World Test Championship final against Australia.
Kagiso Rabada became the Proteas' fourth-highest wicket-taker in Tests but had no time to celebrate as his team undid the paceman's good work against Australia on the first day of the WTC final.
Kagiso Rabada took five wickets but Australia fought back late as the fast bowlers dominated the opening day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord's on Wednesday.
