Khawaja can always be put under pressure with good bolwing even though he is experienced. If our bowlers can knock over Smith and Labuschagne, then we have a great chance in the first test, and then carry the omentum forward into the rest of the series. Our batting does look a bit fragile, especially the opening combination does not have any experience. But, we have the more settled middle and lower middle order.
