Khawaja, Player of the Match:<\/b>\u00a0So heart-wrenching. When you\u2019re playing you\u2019re fine. Hard to watch. Definitely one of my favourite Test matches. I couldn\u2019t watch it with the guys. Was too much nervous energy there. Was watching in the change room on the delayed feed. Personally for me, even now, I\u2019ve never felt like this. The ebb and flow of the whole game. It was no one\u2019s Test match until it was won. Last Test series was pretty tough work for the batters in general unless you were Steve Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
