Usman Khawaja said it would be 'harsh' if he was denied the chance of claiming his first Test double century by a declaration in Australia's third Test against South Africa.

Australia’s Usman Khawaja celebrates reaching his century during day two of the third cricket Test match between Australia and South Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.SYDNEY - Usman Khawaja said it would be"harsh" if he was denied the chance of claiming his first Test double century by a declaration in Australia's third Test against South Africa.

Khawaja is stranded on 195. Matt Renshaw, who tested positive for Covid at the start of the match, is five not out. "We could go out there and get a few more runs really quickly or we could declare pretty much straight away. I'm not the captain... I don't make those decisions," said the batsman. Australia have gone into the match with only two selected front-line pacemen - Josh Hazlewood and Cummins -- making their task even more difficult if the pitch is not as conducive to spin as the hosts had hoped.

Good and bad news for the proteas, they may finally have reached day 4 of a test match but the covers will spice up the pitch. It will offer bounce, pace and swing, something our fragile batting line-up just can't handle. The Aussies will still bowl us out twice in two days
