Depends what you mean by “back in this”. Winning is a long way away. But if they can keep the score down, draw is definitely in play.

I think morgieb mentioned the pitch a few comments ago.

Yeah that seam movement graphic was quite an eye opener. An actually useful graphuc.

4D chess. Ensuring he gets picked again for Sydney.

Holding out hope he's just in bad form and will recover seems like a fool's errand, but it probably has more going for it than calling up Harris.
It wouldn't surprise me if he just hung them up after the series though.

Funny how it's magically not a "road" anymore . . . almost like it never was

I think they'd bring back McSweeney to replace Khawaja tbh. I think they're holding out hope that Khawaja can make bank in Sri Lanka before retiring.

I could see him doing decently in Sri Lanka, maybe. He's still arguably our best slow wicket player so it would hurt to lose him for that.
Not sure if he can play the next Ashes though.

It's amazing what putting the ball in the right areas does.

He hasn't used it much in this innings, he has missed more than he has hit so far and is very lucky to still be there.

He is. You could tell pre series in the Shield games he played. Looked an average at best Shield player and nothing like he had from 2020-2023. Really hope he has the awareness to call it rather than drag it out, because the selectors will let him do it to keep 1 experienced opener

Aus definitely didn't get this sort of movement yesterday even when they were putting it on a length outside off.

He averaged 48 in the few Shield games he played.
I would half agree in the sense that I don't think he looked at his best while doing so, but it isn't accurate at all to imply he failed there entirely
