Aus Vs Eng Ashes 2023: Just when we thought England was on the verge of dominating the day, Usman Khawaja, alongside Travis Head and Alex Carey, ruined those plans. In a critical situation. Australia’s batsman showed why they are the number 1 test team.
England got the early wickets of David Warner, Steve Smith, and Marnus Labushagne and was in cruise control. Then we got another reminder of the batting depth of Australia. Usman Khawaja made some amazing partnerships with Travis Head, Cameron Green, and Alex Carey to get them out of the turmoil.
It’s Khwaja Show
Usman Khawaja was in cruise control from the first delivery of Aus Vs Eng Ashes 2023 Day 2. He never looked out of touch, and even when Broad was firing on all cylinders, he took him down. It was a statement inning from the best test opener right now.
Usman was not out on 126 after the end of the day. He showed amazing grit and faced 279 deliveries, including 14 boundaries and 2 sixes. It was Khwaja’s 7th century since the start of 2022. The joint most alongside Joe Root.
Opening Order Flop Show
The first spell by Stuart Broad was fiery. He got Warner for the 15th time and sent Marnus back to the pavilion on his first delivery. Ben Stokes also got the wicket of Steve Smith before he got settled down. A rare disappointment for Steve Smith.
Moeen Ali got the wickets of dangerous-looking Travis Head and Cameron Green to justify his selection in the Playing XI. He got the wicket of Cameron Green with a peach of a delivery which no batsman in the world would have an answer to.
