Australia needs to bowl out South Africa twice on the final day of the SCG Test to complete a 3-0 sweep of the Proteas and a 5-0 record across the summer. Follow live.
Sat 7 Jan 2023 at 10:49pmIf you need any further evidence that Usman Khawaja is a perfect gent and team player, then here it is.
The Sydney weather has meant that Khawaja was left stranded on 195, just five runs short of a maiden Test double century."I would have loved to get 200, 100 per cent," Khawaja said. "I could see where it was heading, and I didn't want Pat to have that awkward conversation - I actually didn't want him to think about it, so I just took the onus on myself."I'm gunna take the emotion out of it, because obviously he's human too, right? He doesn't wanna declare on me on 195, but take that element out of it, we're here to win Test matches."If I'm here to get a 200 rather than win a Test match then I'm here for the wrong reasons.
