Rabbitohs moans more than the Indian fans
I think Warner was disapointed that he could not play in the Big Bash league.
Rabbit,
I see what your saying, but would warner have been allowed to play such a knock against a half decent bowling attack? All it needed was good line and length and the pitch would have done the rest, as it did with the aussie bowlers. What did you want warner to do? That’s his natural game, and if your going to ball pie-chucking and dolly deliveries at him, he’s going to treat you with distain.
Think you should be more concerned about the level of test cricket bowling with this knock, rather than the batting aspect. Good on warner I say, but he wouldn’t get a chance to play like that vs eng/pak/saffers.
He has a point though. Warner will not be able to play that game vs Pak/Eng/SA, who have a decent pace attack.
I suppose it will be up to him to adapt his game when necessary.
If he can do it then all credit to him. If he doesnt I'm sure the Aussies will have other waiting for their chance.
Afridi.....the trouble is Warner plays his own game against any opposition....
He needs to take hold of the situation on hand and deal with it....this smash at anything is O.K for a talented No.5 but not an opener...IMO

Dave....you are correct, I'm judging Warner to quickly....
Another thing that worries me about Warner is his attitude....he is full of himself like Shane Warne was/is towards the end of his career but at least Warne waited until he had the runs on the board (so to speak)
Warner was asked directly after todays play about the quickest 100 and his reply was.....he thought it was off 67 deliveries......now why on earth would a perspective opener even be concerned about the quickest hundred besides quote a figure on it.....
Warner is paid like a celerbrity and behaves like one and I'm not in favour of a sportsman acting in such a manner until he has done the hard work to become one..cheers.

Don't see how you can complain I'm sure the selectors aren't dumb enough to partner Watson with Warner. Watson should drop to his rightful place at 6/7 so that he can bowl more.
I recorded play and i'm watching his innings now. And it really isn't as if he played a shot a ball. Just hit the bad balls/ordinary balls, for which there were a lot.
Can't say i'm enjoying the innings though. He's a very ugly player to watch.

Decent batsman, but not an opener. May as well not play if he's not going to bowl.
IMO Watson should come in at 6 with Warner at 5.....
