The Ashes 25/26

[RB]

"Since the end of the 2023 Ashes Khawaja has passed 50 four times in 35 innings."

Massive red flag. Will turn 39 during Adelaide test.

Not sure what the point is in playing Khawaja ?
The game looked past him a year ago. Other than the 200 in Sri Lanka on a dead pitch he has done nothing since 2023 ( maybe aone ot two half centuries at the most).

Better chance of finding an opener if you are giving 2 a go.

I agree Khawaja is a watch and has been for awhile but one or two you reckon? You know you could look it up rather than guessing?

To get pedantic :
My Guess was right.ie "Since 2023 other than his 200 against Sri lanka he has scored 1 or 2 scores over 50)."

The 4 quoted is from after the 2023 ashes. He scored another 50 late in 2023. Only 3 scores >50 since 2023.

While we are scrambling to find an opening bat you would like to change 2?
Khawaja has a test avg of 43.9 as our opening bat, agree he is getting on like a number in the squad.

Do we have a good young spinner in the country?

Solution?

The time honoured Australian cricket tradition over the last 150 years* - back the selected team in

If they dont perform (we're 0-2 after Brisbane) make the necessary changes - noting there's two shield matches being played concurrently with the Perth and Brisbane test matches.

Perform or else.

*noting we can all cite examples when this hasn't occurred but by and large it has been the case.

If we are 0-2

it will be a Mennie Ferguson Voges clear out disaster DefCon 1 type event

I'm tipping rain will be the winner in this ashes series

Cant see either side winning 5/0

Aust to win 2/1
