Australia vs Pakistan 2016/17: 3rd Test - 5 talking points

#2 Peter Handscomb goes from strength to strength

Peter Handscomb has been in superb touch

Handscomb has been a splendid addition to Australia's middle order. The wristy back foot player has his share of weaknesses but is too good a player to be kept out of the game. The right-handed batsmen hit his second hundred of the series in Sydney and will end the series with a Bradman-esque average of 99.75.

Handscomb is an exceptional player of spin bowling and will be critical to Australia's chances when they tour India later. He was steady, composed and played some scintillating shots in the Test, more so in the second innings where he made a 25 ball 40.

Like Renshaw, Handscomb has 4 Tests in his kitty and looks likely to add many more to it, given his maturity and calmness at the wicket. He even showed his long hidden talents of wicket keeping when Matthew Wade walked off the pitch with a stomach bug.
