Interesting stats. Does Usman Khawaja survive?

Seems like he will survive.
"He's on contract, he's an important player," McDonald said. "He gives us stability at his best at the top. And we like to look at our players at their best."
"I think he's got plenty of runs left in him. It'll come down to his inner drive and the way he prepares. It was a bit the same with Davey as well. The way he moved, we saw some positives in that. We knew that the runs were around the corner. We feel as though Usman's got a big part to play."

Bill Lawry's dropping remains one of the worst selection calls in Aus cricket history. Could and should have changed captaincy but he well warranted his place in the side. If he tours in 72, Aus wins that series.
Kat's demotion also an abomination, but was done for reasons we all well know.

he was easiest person to drop among the old ****s following a 3-1 Ashes loss?
one of the funniest things was mickey arthur saying clarke wanted katich picked instead of cowan in 2011-12 and this not becoming part of the canon

From memory we replaced him with Bruce Francis ...
Actually Lawry was first replaced by Ken Eastwood for his only test making 5 and 0. Bruce Francis then went on the Ashes tour

I knew Warner was fairly ordinary in the closing stages of his career but didn't realise he averaged less than Geoff Marsh.

I remember that. I think Queenslanders blew up because Trimble missed out. Personally I think Sam was a bit passed it by then but I don't think Eastwood was a young man either. Both had good fc records and would probably be at the forefront of selection now with their respective records.
I mentioned Francis in the context of Burgey's post which referenced the 1972 tour.

He retired after the semi loss vs aus a the CWC.
Only format he never announced officially retired from is t20i but hasn't been picked since the final loss vs India.

Taking McKenzie instead of Colley would've helped too

Rabada and Markram are on the Home (England) honours' board at Lord’s because SA were in the home (Pommy) dressing room.

BREAKING: Jay Shah becomes the first person who wasn't playing in a match to be added to both the home and away honours boards at Lord's at the same time.
They become the second and third. Gordon Greenidge was already on for a ton in a world eleven game. KG and Gordon only players on home and away boards.
