Unfortunately, very few cricketers ever get this opportunity to grind out a draw, as most cricket matches are a win/loss result, with whoever has the most runs at the closer of play, winning the match. Sure, you can play for a draw due to bad light or weather, waiting for the umpire to call the match, but it's not the same. It's really only those playing 1st class cricket (ie. Sheffield Shield (Aus), County Cricket (UK)) or Test cricket, where you have to dismiss a batting team twice, really ever get this chance.

It's a shame he wasn't given a red hot crack as an opener- I'd rather him than Burns personally, especially with Labuschagne and Smith as right hand bats at 3 and 4 respectively.

Hope Burns gets runs this summer. Still believe Uzzie should be in the XI, in both tests and ODIs, maybe it seems difficult at present.

In test Usman looks still inconsistent player. He edges the ball too often and he cant play spin well. In tough situation or when wickets tumble on other side he gets out soon. Just like Stoinis he is a good bigbash player but struggles in international cricket. Yep he played well in that odis against india and he should have been given few more chance in subcontinent in odis but in tests he needs to improve alot.
