Well, he did make 123 doing it. I'm sure similar plaudits will be forthcoming if Khawaja does similar.

I am a little skeptical of his ability to do so, though. Historically, Khawaja has had a slight habit of imploding when a spinner gets him pinned down. If he conquers that problem, nobody will be more pleased than I.

He was good in the UAE against spin.

Why have we got a deep backward square and a deep mid wicket to a bloke on 0 when Australia are 3/65!

 

[red+black]

SMarsh probably has 1 Test left.

 

[Seedsfan]

The problem is Renshaw hasn’t been making runs.

Third highest first class run scorer for the year world wide before the squad was picked. Also Finch hasn’t made runs since playing white ball cricket in England

Yeah we are on top, we need to attack.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

SMarsh probably has 1 Test left.

Why do we have to give him another test?

Seriously would rather have kept Laubashgne at least he’s young

Can't believe people would complain about Michael Vaughan.

Can't believe people would complain about Michael Vaughan.

He’s a very good analyst.

I’d like to get Atherton out here too

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Has any batsman in this test (either side) being dismissed in not a soft manner (run out excluded)

SMarsh probably has 1 Test left.

In which he’ll ton up and the cycle continues

Khawaja is terrible between wickets.

Khawaja is terrible between wickets.

He’s a lot better than he was

 

[IKnowtheDog]

If Finch’s role is to keep Warner’s seat warm it’s a good role to fill. Helps to alleviate pressure on the other opener as well.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Nic Maddinson 70* opening in the Shield. Thank goodness Mark Waugh isn't a selector anymore

 

[eddiesmith]

Burns to open, Finch to 5, Marsh to club cricket for next game

 

[JimDocker]

Can't believe people would complain about Michael Vaughan.

Vaughan is a good analyst but a total knob. His MO is to try and stir all the time.

Would rather listen to KOK, Gillespie, AB, or Atherton as LP suggested.

 

[kreglze]

Hanscomb looking solid. Needs to stick around for Khawaja.

 

[G Mus]

I think Head is closer to the axe than Shaun Marsh

 

[danielnajdek]

He’s a lot better than he was

Yeah he is but there's been a couple of times where they could've got an extra run. But at least he looks comfortable out there.

 

[HBF]

Some runs finally.

 

[frankrizzo]

Had a great away series in nz but has only played a few tests since, he has three test tons but he just isn't rated by many.

If burns was given the same long term backing others got I think he could have been solid but he always going to be one bad game away from the axe.

He’s got more runs in 2 tests than Marsh has in his last 7.

I’m no Head fan but jeez
