Harris out, Khawaja in surely the smart choice but the selectors aren't smart when it comes to Harris.
Khawaja doesn't open for QLD though in Sheffield Shield - Do they look ahead to the Pakistan Tour or give Harris another go - if he scores runs in the 5th test be hard then to leave him out of the Pakistan Tour.

Kwawaja overseas record is not great either - 28.69 compared to 55.31 at home

Surely though the batting coach has picked up Harris's deficiencies as Ricky Ponting has alluded to during the commentary.

Harris has got to move his feet more as he gets stuck on the crease and thus pushes at the ball on the rise- always a candidate to nick off with that technique and lack of foot movement.

Something I just found out, and how special that ton was from Bairstow

This test started on the 5/1

In 1998 on 5/1, his old man David Bairstow (played 4 tests) committed suicide, aged 46

Jonny would have been only a boy about 8yo

Respect
