England openers way too inexperienced against very good Aussie attack: Katich

Simon Katich

Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich, believes the England openers for the third Ashes Test are way too inexperienced to counter a very good Australian attack in home conditions.

Both England openers, Haseeb Hameed and the young Zak Crawley, who replaced Rory Burns for the Boxing Day Test here, were bowled out cheaply. “They are both inexperienced. They’re youngsters finding their feet at Test level. It’s not easy. They’ve been exposed by a very good Australian attack, they’re coming up in conditions that they haven’t experienced before, so that’s something that’s caused them issues,” said Katich.
