It was the long-sleeved sweater: Justin Langer’s bizarre theory to
explain Usman Khawaja’s WTC final failure
This was Khawaja's seventh single-digit score during his 13th Test
innings in England.

Former Australia coach Justin Langer has put forward a bizarre theory to
explain opener Usman Khawaja’s duck in the first innings of the World
Test Championship Final versus India at The Oval.

Langer believes Khawaja’s failure may have been caused by the
‘long-sleeve sweater’ he was sporting.

“He came out wearing a long-sleeve sweater. I felt if I had a
long-sleeve sweater, especially early, you need to be sharp – I never
felt right. And he came out wearing that long-sleeved sweater today and
didn’t get going. He will be disappointed to be out in the first half an
hour,” Langer said on air.

In the fourth over of Australia’s innings, Khawaja was out for a duck.
He hung his bat out in response to a length ball pitched across by Siraj
but it resulted in him edging the ball and being caught. This was his
seventh single-digit score during his 13th Test innings in England.

I don't know whether whoever wrote that was working in hexadecimal, but
in decimal it was Khawaja's 5th single-figure Test score in England.
