@antipodean he was cramping up to shit well before the stupid attempt at a jump. Probably wrecked anyway
Any excuse to have a go at Davey.
It’s the kiwi way.
In any case possibly a bit of a dick….definitely a modern great. I love watching him bat.
Two things can be true. His record speaks for itself. He's also a colossal piston wristed gibbon.

Unfasthionable opinion. David Warner is one of the great batsmen of the last 20 years and never gets the credit he deserves. To score a double ton on his 100th Test at the MCG will have been a sweet moment for him after coping a lot of shit in his career.

I’ve done some googling to refresh my memory. There are a few incidents to support you.
I think you’re right but he is fantastic to watch when on form. People just seem quick to jump on and have a go at him and forget that he’s an absolute class player.

You right, he's a great batsman, but definitely right up there real high in the dick catergory.
I can never stop seeing in my mind when he pretended he was going to have a crack at a Saffa who made some reply to about Warner's Mrs after Warner called hin a c***. It was a classic of hold me me back boys or else............... -

averages 60 in Aus, South Africa and Bangladesh
Averages 26 in England, 24 in India, 26 in the Windies, 25 in Sri Lanka and 13 in NZ. Has never scored a 100 in any of those countries
That does not say "great" to me.

@mariner4life It does if you spell 'great'

Warner spent the night in a vat of pickle juice and he's back
Not for long
Nortje two wickets in two balls
Elgar is a shit captain. Nortje takes out two batsmen bringing the tail to the crease, and keeps his bullshit spread field for a hat trick ball.
Two more slips and a silly mid off was the call

Similar sorts of numbers to Latham really. And look, most batsmen pad their averages against the shit sides, but agree to be a great you should at least have a respectable record in the tougher conditions.

Anil Kumble: averaged 20 in India and 40 outside India.

Carey is such an enormous upgrade on Paine
(incidentally, where does a bog average cricketer with 35 tests get the unmitigated gall to release a book?)
This Australian side right now looks easily the best in the world. Their batting is full of runs, Lyon is still a canny operator, we've discussed the ridiculous pace depth already, and Green is coming along nicely.
Horribly one-sided summer of cricket.

Haven't you heard? - England are reinventing cricket
Best side ever, anywhere, any time - in the history of the game.
