Usman Khawaja deserves all the trolling and criticism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His community is defending him because he stands for Palestine and having bots to defend him when he doesn’t perform. What he does outside cricket is none of my business but in terms of being a professional cricketer and a centrally contracted player he has set the wrong example to his team and his country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had one job to do that is to open the batting and be on the field. There was a 40 minute lunch session to solve all your issues. Toilet breaks and stretching could’ve been done in that period. ‘Back spasm’ is a nice coverup by the Aussie media team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a shameless individual this man is and on top of that he wants a farewell. Joke has been made in the name of farewell these days. He doesn’t deserve one and shouldn’t be in this test side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ian Healy and Mark Waugh didn’t get farewells, Ricky Ponting was told Perth was his last test (Hobart had next Test) and Steve Waugh was told no final frontier so why is Usman Khawaja<\/a> so special?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should’ve been dumped a ‘long time ago’. That 232 was the worst thing to have ever happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His conscience should know at 39 years he his well past it, his reaction times are slow and cannot handle the pace barrage anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is the officials who are picking him should be answerable ie George Bailey the COS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He should not play another test for Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
