The 37-year-old opener performed a pivotal function in Australia’s 360-run victory, scoring a match-winning 164 off 211 balls within the first innings.

“If he bats like that, he can go one other yr for mine (me) till he would not wish to play anymore. That is what he is been lacking in Take a look at cricket, that footwork, steadiness and actual bat velocity when he wanted it,” he added.
