Despite a series-saving victory in Adelaide, pressure mounts on Australia's top-order in the cricket showdown. Former opener David Warner highlights concerns about performances, including those of Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, and rookie Nathan McSweeney.

Travis Head's century was a highlight, balancing the team's fortunes. Yet, Warner emphasizes the importance of the top six batsmen making substantial contributions, providing vital rest for the bowlers.
