A similar brain explosion like that in football would see your place immediately in jeopardy.
I do not believe for a.minute that Uzzie has been focused on batting this year; he seems much more interested in promoting his global views and avoiding a pink ball. Been a long time since I have heard him discuss his batting.
He made the most test runs (1210) in 2023, wouldn't that suggest he was focused on his batting? He let his bat do the talking rather than talking about his batting.
Why do you have an issue with him promoting his global views?
I have no issue with his views on the current global problems, nor with his views on use of pink ball in test cricket.
I also recognise his solid year. I intended to reference this season, nor this year... apologies
My issue is over this whole series he has been focused on these areas to a far greater extent than previous, and at the same time his form has dropped.
Coincidence?

Do you think that writing messages on his shoes/wearing an armband/writing an Instagram post is likely to result in a loss of form? E.g. do you think he forewent net sessions?
More to the point, what insight do you have into what Khawaja's "focus" is/was?

Marnus got a good one, just acknowledge it and get off
