BGT: 'Gabba Test Is Where Smith, Khawaja Will Want To Cash In,' Feels Katich
Gabba Test: Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich remains optimistic about the form of veteran batters Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith, despite their underwhelming performances, and expressed confidence that the Gabba Test, starting from Saturday in Brisbane, could provide an opportunity for the pair to deliver big scores.
Both players have struggled to make significant contributions, with Khawaja scoring 8, 4, 13, and 9 not out across four innings and Smith managing just 0, 17, and 2. But, Katich noticed indications from Smith in the second dig at Perth and Khawaja in the first innings in Adelaide that the two are finding a little bit of touch without converting it into significant runs.
"I thought Uzzie did a good job in that first innings in Adelaide. It was tough conditions that night and I thought he and young McSweeney did a good job in making sure that Australia got to Stumps one down. Whilst he only got 13, it was the number of balls he soaked up early on … then he got the job done in the second innings in a little chase,' Katich said on SEN Mornings.
