More of a Lyon man myself but yeah not really a fan of Khawaja
Edit: Marsh can be abit inconsistent for me sometimes but would prefer him to Khawaja (might be the WA bias in me)

One of the best test victories have seen with many of the star West Indian players at home playing in the Carribean Premier league and especially after being defeated comprehensively in the first test. Gutsy effort.

Australia in Asia: 2 wins out of 23 matches
Asians in Australia: 1 win out of 23 matches.
And also losing to a country he probably had never heard of in his day.
Do test runs, wickets and averages still apply against such a country such as Bangladesh ??
It's a good point you bring up though, especially when you want to compare, for example, the two leading wicket takers in Test cricket. 176 of Murali's 800 Test wickets were against ZIM and BAN, as opposed to only 17 of Warne's 708 Test wickets.
