BGT 2024-25: 'Pressure Is On All The Top Order', Says Warner On Aussies Batting
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’t 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.
“I 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’s capable of doing it. But it’s everyone else around supporting that. It’s not just one player in particular, it’s the top six scoring bulk runs and making sure you’re 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.
