Ashes 2023: I Thought Usman's Time Was Nearly Done; Delighted To Be Proven Wrong, Says Gillespie

By IANS News June 19, 2023 • 08:46 AM View: 1183

AUS vs ENG: Former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie admitted that he felt opener Usman Khawaja's time was up a couple of years ago and was delighted over being proved wrong by the left-hander's 141 in the first Ashes Test against England at Edgbaston.

On Saturday, Australia were struggling after losing David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in the first session. But Khawaja led the charge for Australia, rebuilding the innings with a superb 126 not out, his first Test hundred in England, while stitching important partnerships of 81 and 72 with Head and Cameron Green to take the side to 311/5 at stumps, trailing England by 82 runs.
