The Ashes: Jhye Richardson aware Adelaide fifer doesn't guarantee spot, 'Happy as long as we are winning'

The Ashes: Jhye Richardson returned figures of 5/42 but even that won't guarantee a spot for him in the third Test with the return of Australia captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.

Jhye Richardson is painfully aware that the depth in Australian fast bowling means his five-wicket haul in the second Ashes Test is far from a guarantee that he will take the field in the third.

Richardson came into the side for the Adelaide Oval clash with Michael Neser to replace the injured Josh Hazlewood and skipper Pat Cummins, who was ruled out after being adjudged a close contact of a COVID-19 case.
