Cricket: Brendon Julian expects keeper Alex Carey to have a massive Summer against India, despite growing concerns around the rest of the batting order.
Carey to be leading run scorer in BGT? | 03:44 Usman Khawaja says it’s a “myth” that an opening combination needs a fast scorer as he endorsed the selection of Nathan McSweeney as his new partner at the top of Australia ’s batting order.Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer.
“I don’t know where this myth started that you needed someone to score really fast,” Khawaja said ahead of the start of Australia’s Test series against India on Friday week in Perth.“We didn’t have one Test match go for five days, last year. Opening is as much about scoring runs and just being able to absorb that time.
“Those two are both very important things, and I think Nathan does that really well. He can score runs, but he can also bat time.However, Khawaja warned McSweeney that there were “no guarantees in cricket”, but said that his former Queensland teammate didn’t “have to do anything different” in the Test arena.“The only thing that really changes is that you have a few more people watching. Not many people watch Shield cricket.
