“Nathan McSweeney wasn’t scoring either. So I think the young, more aggressive player will play for sure.” “So I think it’s a tough call, but, you know, they’re obviously pretty strong about going hard to try and win these last two Tests.”However, Waugh believes the importance of the Border-Gavaskar series which is poised at 1-1 with two games remaining forced the selectors hand and they couldn’t have dropped veterans Khawaja and Labuschagne mid-series.“They’re not worrying about the future as much.
But Hussey questioned why Australia felt the need to make the change given they have dominated the games since losing the first Test.
