39 year old in his twilight chews up 150 plus overs that would’ve been better used by the next generation of top order batters to test them out and give valuable insights to selectors going into an Ashes year and beyond. Konstas, McSweeney, Connolly on water jugs, clapping stat-padding 🤷🏻‍♂️🇱🇰🇦🇺🏏 #SLvAUS

💯 Pointless ego booster

Only one guy under the age of 30 in the summer series and he’s carrying the water jugs here. In a crucial Ashes year start to the next WTC cycle, what are the selectors learning new about Khawaja? Nothing. What are they gleaning about Konstas, McSweeney, Connolly? Zilch. Makes no sense. 🇱🇰🇦🇺🏏 #SLvAUS

Konstas has been impressive , exciting and shows potential. He hasn't locked his spot in. He is only 19 and will be kerning a lot on this tour even if he doesn't play..Usi has just made a double century, I doubt Konstas would have done that.

Pressure-off mini-series when you already sealed a WTC Final spot are for experimentation and testing new combinations, introducing new players. This 200 tells us zip about Uzzie and equally nothing about the top order that 🇦🇺 needs going forward. It’s like the selectors are determined to learn zero.

By the way, Usi got dropped once because he couldn't play spin. Rather than back him in to work on his game like they did with Ponting. Again Konstas is a kid, he is just 19, he will be fine

We want to win this series, we struggled last time. Konstas time will come, he may well play in the Ashes in Australia as Usi may retire by then. Or
Head may drop down the order and Konstas opens with Usi. Deep breathe and relax.

It'll all come crashing down in the Ashes

Wood, Archer, Atkinson, Carse. If Khawaja struggles first two tests, by the third test it’ll be a whole new opening pair mid-series. He made a great knock at the SCG to seal the BGT. Should’ve been his swan song and Konstas / McSweeney should be batting together at the top this tour. 🇱🇰🇦🇺🏏 #SLvAUS
