Think Handscomb's innings, and his brilliant catch of the candyman was just as good.

Renshaw was the first Australian to score 30+ runs in an innings at a strike rate of less than 25 since Katich in 2008!

How's the hack second (when sorted by lowest SR) on that list, scratching around and the end of his career when obviously past it!

Or you know, he could have thrown away his innings and caused a collapse.

Useless Trivia Time:
Would Matt Renshaw be the only opener in Test history to open his first 2 innings with 2 different partners??

He could have, so good on him for not doing that, but we also could, you know, go easy on the superlatives for what was really a not overly confident looking innings, with not that much pressure on, in a dead rubber.
Hopefully he's on during the boxing day test, seems to be the way they do it now.

We were facing our first clean sweep at home and a 6th test loss in a row and this is a 20 year old with only a dozen first class game under his belt facing some of the best bowing we have seen here in a long time so for me thats plenty of pressure.
If renshaw had come out and chased one like dopey dave in hobart people would be saying dump him for the gabba and he likely would have been dumped, he batted like he was fighting to keep his test spot and with good reason.

He made a promising start. Hopefully Renshaw gets the 3 tests against Pakistan and we should have a better idea of where he needs to work on things.
Great composure under pressure and comfortable enough in his game to tell Warner to get stufffed with his stupid single. There is potential there for a good opening combination.

Showed enough for mine and seems to have great openers temperament as well as being a good slipper.
Anyone that had a problem with Renshaw's innings should have a look at this;
He was a very valuable contributor, cool under pressure given his age and experience. He came in at a very difficult time in the first innings and was so important he didn't lose his wicket early in the 2nd innings. A player that actually puts a price on his wicket, boy were we looking for one of those types. As he settles into his role he will learn how to rotate the strike more so the likes of Warner and Smith aren't stuck up the other end for long periods but right now he has to value his wicket and hold up his end by batting for long periods, which he did very successfully.

Yep, I'll agree with that.
But him surviving those overs after the late declaration on the first day was very impressive.
Even if he continues to bat slow, it doesn't really matter. As long as he learns to rotate the strike more, he can take as long as he likes.
We have Warner, the fastest scoring opening batsmen in the world, and Smith, an aggressive stroke player who is arguably the best batsman in the world full stop. Usman at 3, a solid and traditional stroke playing batsman.
He's the perfect partner for these guys. We don't need him scoring runs when the other bloke at the end is ticking over at anything from .75 to a run a ball plus.
Renshaw, Warner, Khawaja and Smith. That's a damn solid top order.

Seriously baffled at the complaints of low strike rate after all the collapsing of late.
Big bash starts soon don't worry guys.
Could have easy been 2-3 down at stumps day one. Kid can play an important role in rebuilding this team imo.

I hope he bats at a slower strike rate next time!

er no.. he was not on my radar and neither has he done enough... too much temper... just not quite working his place and neither can he say he would
be satisfied with it either.
dave warner visits this category as well. just a bit too much anger and lack of stationary working.. he and them both work too hard at being toothless
tigers.
He didn't get out in the second innings and he didn't throw his wicket away

who? .. no matter but it wasn't just those two.. all about a total capitulation and they had lost the series anyway..
going for the low bar in the series anywhooo..
It was his first test. If that's not pressure what is?
You know, it's possible to have a balanced opinion where you can admire his innings yesterday and the grit and determination Renshaw showed whilst also understanding he'll need to start showing he has significantly more scoring power to have a long career. Heck, I'm sure Renshaw knows that better than anyone.
Not everything has to be a hot take.
