Australias coach Darren Lehmann has said Usman Khawaja is not out of favour with selectors, despite the batsmans recent comments that he and Joe Burns had been made scapegoats on the recent tour of Sri Lanka. Khawaja also labeled the selectors fickle for dropping the pair after two Tests in Sri Lanka, given both men were coming off excellent form in the previous few Test series.Lehmann said that he would have a private conversation with Khawaja concerning his public comments, preferring such matters to stay behind closed doors. However, it remains to be seen whether Khawaja will pay the price for his statements when the squad for the first Test against South Africa is chosen later this week.We have the GOAT, Lehmann told reporters in Brisbane on Tuesday, referring to Nathan Lyons nickname as the Greatest Of All Time. And now we have the Scapegoat. I love these nicknames ... He is not on the back foot. [But] I will chat to him privately. We would rather have these things played out between selectors and players.Khawaja and Burns were axed for the third Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo, although Burns had been Man of the Match in Australias last Test before the tour - against New Zealand in Christchurch in February - and Khawaja had made four consecutive first-innings hundreds during the summer. Shaun Marsh and Moises Henriques came in at the expense of Khawaja and Burns.Being on the selection panel for the Test match, it was warranted, Lehmann said. At the end of the day, there were different conditions and those two guys werent playing well enough - they averaged eight or seven in two Test matches.We had to change something, but that doesnt affect the summer at home. We have to work out what we think the best batting line-up is for the summer.Khawaja and Burns are in action for Queensland against New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield match that started at the Gabba on Tuesday, although they will have to wait until later in the game to bat as Khawaja won the toss and sent the Blues in. At the WACA, Shaun Marsh, hoping to prove to the selectors that he had recovered from a hamstring injury, was batting early on day one.And at the MCG, Peter Siddle and Jackson Bird were potentially competing for the final bowling position in Australias Test squad, to be announced on Friday - assuming Mitchell Starc proves his fitness at the Gabba. Lehmann said Bird and Siddle both had the chance to bowl themselves into the side for the first Test against South Africa at the WACA.They certainly can over the next few days I would think, Lehmann said. [Siddle] looked really good in the Matador Cup and by all reports hes got some zing and zip back. Hes playing the Shield game so hopefully hell perform well and pull up well, and then well see what we do.His record is exceptional - he bowls good line and length and can complement Mitchell, but so can Jackson Bird.

This was a great effort again tonight to get a victory against a top 10-level team. Auburn was on a seven-game winning streak, the longest in their programs history and you can see why. They play well and have some real great athletes on the field and they really play with some good composure. It took a lot for us to keep the game in front of us and to be able to break on the chances that we had.On Danielle Rice saving three potential Auburn goals in the first half...Dani Rice was magnificent in her last game at Ellis Field. She was special. Auburn is great at putting together little passes that find the gaps. The Ramsier sisters do a fantastic job with it and (Kristen) Dodson up front is a handful and she makes it that more difficult on us. It feels real good to keep a great attacking team in check.Junior forward Haley PoundsOn the penalty kick goal...Weve been practicing penalty kicks all week. I was a little nervous going up there because of what was on the line. But, I felt pretty confident. I knew where I was going to place it and was able to execute and get the goal.On Emily Bates...Shes a huge asset. She is always creating chances for our team. All the credit goes to her for drawing that foul in the box and setting up that PK for me.Sophomore defender Kendall RitchieOn the second half play...We really picked it up in the second half. We felt really strong. This was probably our strongest second half we have had all season.
