Australia’s comprehensive victory at Adelaide was the result of a string of outstanding individual performances. But two veterans failed to fire, and will look for a big improvement in Brisbane.
Scored 13 in the first innings and dropped a relatively simple catch at slip. Hasn’t made a score above 33 in his last eight Test innings. Khawaja turns 38 late this month. It’s worth noting that Sam Konstas, who is half his age, just backed up his century for the Prime Minister’s XI with a knock of 88 in the Sheffield Shield against Western Australia. Khawaja hit the winning runs.
His dismissal of Shubman Gill in the second innings was fast bowling at its finest.The Victorian’s first Test since last year’s Ashes series went beautifully. Should have had two wickets in his first over but for a no-ball and a Khawaja dropped catch. A crowd favourite once again. If Josh Hazlewood is fit, it will be an interesting selection call for Brisbane.Sent down just six balls across both innings, the second fewest in his career.
