Australian International Summer 2025/26

Konstas and Khawaja both have to go asap

Khawaja yes he’s cooked
Konstas plays the 3rd test and beyond

Konstas needs to go back to shield cricket and average more than Jake Lehmann in a season.

Is playing JFM like shots atm

[RB]

I agree that Konstas would want to show some form in the Shield to justify his place in the Ashes squad.

Having said that, I still don't think any of Khawaja, Inglis or Connolly should have played against SL.

[Armchair expert]

First few shield fixtures should be mandatory attendance for test players.

You perform you get selected whether its Harris Bancroft Renshaw McSweeney it doesn't matter, form is good as seen by Websters inclusion.

We can tank in any meaningless white ball games that are hidden on Foxtel for all I care.

In England, need 800 to be safe … here, 150-200 will probably do it.
