Where has this Khawaja been for the last 2 years?

 

[10Dulkar]

Loving this from Khawaja - playing nice and straight.

 

[Neese]

Beautiful Ussie

 

[grumbleguts]

Ussie looking set.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Given Labs/Smith we need Khawaja to go on with it now.

 

[SC_Power]

Feel a lot more comfortable now, this first ten minutes after lunch have been quite assured

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I can't watch, what did he do?

 

[SSwans2011]

How did the TikTok cricketer go again? Wouldn't have got himself out would he?

Could have done better and the wicket was a rank hack but he threw the bowlers off their lines which allowed us to get off to a good start.

Did better than the more experienced Labuschagne and Smith which is pretty impressive with the weight of the run chase but also Indian fans and even plenty of his own countrymen deathriding him.

Done a great job coming in and having an impact as a 19-year-old. Going to be an amazing player. Just enjoy the ride.

It'll be an interesting listen.

Very disjointed group

Rohit coming late upset a lot of the Tour

Didn’t go out and celebrate after the Perth as a group had the opportunity to but all went different ways

Massive internal politics at play with some equally massive egos

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

It would be really interesting too see from all the wickets fallen during the series, how many of them were due to bad/poor/lazy shots.. 50% more ?

 

[Headless]

beautiful straight drive, Khawaja

Beautiful shot.

 

[Mr Meow]

Where has this Khawaja been for the last 2 years?

You mean in 2024.

In 2023 he averaged 52.6.

 

[SportsCentre]

The two innings where Konstas has done some early damage has had a better effect on Khawajas innings, allowed him to settle and perhaps not feel all the pressure?

 

[Moonwatcher]

We always have to start with "Sure, we did it once"

 

[Neese]

I just want to see India implode then cry.

So....normal programming then?

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Funny I think he is saying he has no money left and a small penis that is of no interest.

 

[ptrg]

Did he check if he had an outtie and said "nup, nothing there"?

 

[Hawksboy72]

So "the general feeling" is just what you think should happen then? Cos I haven't spoken to a single person with this line of thinking, including here on BF.

Not at all. It is what I've been told by the majority of people I've spoken to down here about it.
Most are happy to have a team but say extending Launceston would've made more sense.
But there will be other Tasmanians who are all for it.
General feel probably wrong term for it.

Kudos to Virat for finally being honest

I found that really odd. Winning the test in those circumstances in a city that visitors struggle with. I said it in the second test thread that India will probably lose the series with that playing a part

 

[Black Diamond]

Come on Fox team, he really should be over a bent front knee.

 

[BGman]

What, like the 21/22 shield cricketer of the year, went on a Aus A tour with a ton in SL, and now leads the shield aggregates this year with most centuries?

Henry Hunt. Never got a crack at a Baggy Green back then when others prob less deserving did, so is well overdue. Reckon he and Kid Kon would make a good pairing, the kids aggression and Henry's temperament.

 

[tigs2010]

Ussie been solid

 

[Black Diamond]

So we’ve past half way. No risks taken after lunch.

Well done.
