Khawaja unlucky. Reminds of a couple years ago when they guy got dropped every 2nd test and never had any continuity.

I have a feeling he missed out for 2 main reasons other than those related to his performance:
- Because they want Cartwright to bowl as a second seamer (even though he's rubbish)
- TPC wants to bat 3

Why are Australia picking three specialist off-spinners when they already have someone in Maxwell who can bowl off-spin? I’ve never seen Swepson bowl but surely for variety’s sake at the very least you’d want him bowling instead.
No because Swepson is **** and SOK is very good

Cummins so good edges off his bowling on a dead subcontinent track fly through too quickly for third slip.

why do you hate fun
We keep complaining about home teams being too dominant but then home teams are being allowed to openly doctor pitches with no consequence

other than the last 2 tests of Aus tour to India every Asian Test we've played has been on a wicket like this

Also winning the toss shouldn't have as much bearing on the game as it does in pitches like this

Tamim is a massive scalp I reckon. Feels like he always gets a 50 at home. By far Bangladesh's most consistent batsman. Shakib and Rahim are always feast or famine.

PSA that Imrul Kayes mk II has averaged 41.86 since his recall to Bangers in 2014.

Even if you exclude a bit of Zimbabwe bashing he averages 38.80 against the rest and 44.73 at home.

He was possibly replaced by an identical twin thats less poor at cricket.

Edit: Prior to this he was a serious contender for having the worst stats in history, averaging 17.13 as an opener after 30 innings.
