Khawaja has had a torrid start to the series, managing just 34 runs across the first two Tests. His inability to convert starts has been part of a longer slump, with just one fifty in his last 16 innings for Australia. However, Khawaja isn\u2019t alone in his struggles. Steve Smith has contributed a mere 19 runs in three innings, while Marnus Labuschagne secured his position with a gritty 64 in Adelaide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think the pressure is on all the top order, not just 'Uzzie'. Travis came out and counterpunched and scored a brilliant hundred, and we know he\u2019s capable of doing it. But it\u2019s everyone else around supporting that. It\u2019s not just one player in particular, it\u2019s the top six scoring bulk runs and making sure you\u2019re giving rest to the fast bowlers. It was a fast-paced Test in the first game, but this last one was Mitchell Starc at his best as usual with the pink ball,\" Warner told Fox Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Warner also threw his support behind Nathan McSweeney, who has had a challenging initiation against India\u2019s bowling attack. Despite scoring only 39 runs in the first innings in Adelaide, Warner praised McSweeney\u2019s temperament and technique.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We saw glimpses the other day of the intent that you show when you're scoring. There are a lot of question marks around why they chose him, but the glimpses that you\u2019ve seen, we now know why. He's got a good temperament; I like the way he sets up, and I think he\u2019s got a good future ahead of him,\" said Warner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
