***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

In all honesty, while I think Warner is Test class and will have a productive career, I don't think he'll have a similar number of big scores. Could be wrong though.

Perhaps true but goodness knows how many he will make this inning. If he gets through the first 1/2 hour tomorrow then 300 beckons.

 

[Noble One]

He's definitely a player who'll be feasting on crap bowling in the years to come. That's not to say that he can't do well against good bowling either though.

So that makes him a normal good batsman then?

 

[Pothas]

I'm struggling to think of many days where a team has been so utterly dominant in dismissing the opposition out cheaply then almost matching their score without loss. Amazing day of cricket for the Aussies.

We should scrap the fourth test and get NZ over for a decider at Adelaide...

Boxing day 2010 or did you forget about that one?

Anyway this is probably more humiliating.

So true. The perfect sort of innings that Sehwag always gets credited with but has never actually played.

Change feasting to annihilating

Warner's superior footwork just puts him in better positions to play a lot more attacking shots than Sehwag does.

He definitely got a bit sloggy after he got hit in the head, but the first 70-80 runs were all made with technically excellent cricket shots. Moved his feet well and created shots; it really wasn't very Sehwag-like at all other than the fact that he played a big quick-scoring innings as opener.

Yeah agree completely.

This is just like last week after Day 2, I'm actually struggling to believe that I've just witnessed that. More compressed this time, though.

I think he'll get out some time tomorrow morning though. The deck will quicken up whilst still retaining a little movement and even with India bowling pies, he did play a false shot every two or three overs or so. As you would expect on this sort of track.

 

[Noble One]

Disappointed all the hype in the final 20 minutes was “Will Warner score 100?”. I was on the “Will Ed Cowan score 50?” bandwagon.

Total letdown.

 

[Athlai]

Sehwag has never hit a ton in the first session he has faced opening. Nor ever hit a ton anywhere near this quick.

 

[M0rphin3]

****in 'ell

Awesome innings tho, gun.

 

[Pothas]

That 90odd against England must have been at a similar pace?

would like to know if kohli got flipped about twenty thousand birds when he got out

Total letdown.

I'm sure Eddie will get more support in tomorrow's Battle - "Will Cowan score 100 before Warner gets 350"

Sehwag is more boundaries than sixes it's why he isn't in the fastest 100 list on cricinfo.

 

[Sylvester]

Speaking of that list, 4 times it has come in Perth.

Needs posting.

Sehwag leaves a fair few balls as well.

Yep, only the one by Gayle could be considered a flat track.
