Opener calls out a trend in Australia's batting he hopes he and his teammates and put an end to at Newlands…

Australian opener Travis Head has called for a collective batting effort ahead of the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Reflecting on Australia's defeat in Gqeberha, where the team was bowled out for 99, Head stressed the need for substantial top-order partnerships rather than reliant lone-hand performances.
Despite individual centuries from Head, Cameron Green, and Matthew Renshaw across recent Tests, Australia has lacked multiple fifty-plus scores within single innings. With the series tied at 1-1 and potential lineup adjustments looming under captain Pat Cummins, Head dismissed batting order debates while urging teammates to deliver sustained support at Newlands.
