Michael Clarke all praise for Usman Khawaja – Cricket News Update
Australian captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Khawaja-c2729, to come good in the future and believes that the Pakistani born Aussie cricketer has a great International career ahead of him.
Usman made his Test debut earlier this year in the last Test of the Ashes 2010-11 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in Sydney, and impressed one and all with his solid technique and temperament to excel at the highest level of the sport.
So far, Khawaja has been regarded as a Test match specialist and is yet to represent Australia in any form of limited overs cricket.
The left-handed batsman was part of Australia’s recently concluded tour of Sri Lanka, where he failed to make a huge impression in the two Test matches that he played. He was later replaced for the third Test at Colombo, as another talented left-hander,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SE-Marsh-c2470, was able to cement his place in the team by scoring a hundred on debut in the second Test.
Usman is usually a top-order batsman but he had to play at number six in the batting order because of some big names in the top five. While praising the attitude and skill of the left-handed batsman, Clarke said that Usman impressed the team management to
show his will to be flexible when it comes to his batting order.
Clarke said, "Uzzy is a very good and talented player and as he's shown on this trip once again he can bat anywhere in the order."
The left hander has so far had a fantastic first-class career as he is averaging 45.94 runs per innings. He is an integral part of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 and that was the major reason why he was not able to score a lot of runs. The Australian captain added that Khawaja is an asset for his team because he possesses the ability to
bat at different positions.
"He started against some good spin bowlers in tough spin conditions. It's a wonderful talent and anyone who can bat anywhere in the order has to be a bonus to the team," he added.
