Ashes: Finch Feels ‘explosive’ Travis Head Will Have More Impact In Middle-order In Pink-ball Test
Around The Wicket: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch says Travis Head should play as a middle-order batter for the day-night Test at the Gabba, even after his explosive century as a stand-in opener in Perth.
Head’s success at the top has put pressure on Usman Khawaja, whose ongoing back spasms forced him out of his usual opening role in both innings of the first Test. His limited time on the field, caused by England’s rapid first-innings collapse, meant he couldn’t resume his spot when Head was elevated.
Finch argued that the pink ball changes the equation for Brisbane and makes Head more valuable at No. 5, where his counterattacking style can shape the match.
