A bit. You could tell he was holding back against Moeen but did still manage to hit some ground drives.Did Warner settle down and start batting more assuredly? He looked complete trash again early on in the second dig.
To be fair, the prior two games they only scraped over the line didn't they? (vs Eng & NZ)Gilchrist walking in the semi is mentioned way more often than it deserves. No one was going to touch Australia that WC anyway.
New Zealand was fairly comfortable in the end, but yeah Port Elizabeth that World Cup wasn't kind to us.To be fair, the prior two games they only scraped over the line didn't they? (vs Eng & NZ)
Nah, it's the second innings after his team posted a big total in the first one. You can almost rest assured that he'll be doing fine.Did Warner settle down and start batting more assuredly? He looked complete trash again early on in the second dig.
Gave a chance on 0 but was otherwise very good. Bowling was pretty toothless as you'd expect, just going through the motions really, plus it's Warner's favourite batting situation. Averages 55 in the third innings and I'm sure when Australia has a first innings lead it's significantly higher.Did Warner settle down and start batting more assuredly?

I remember watching that as a kid. We were like 7 for 80 or something against Shane Bond bowling 150k outswingers. Then the rest of the NZ bowlers had to come on and were pretty average.New Zealand was fairly comfortable in the end, but yeah Port Elizabeth that World Cup wasn't kind to us.
Not many apart from AB DeVilliersYeah, not many better guys around for taking a first innings lead and quickly turning it into a declaration for the win than Warner

I'll give you 15-1 that Cook bats long enough to save the gameHello everyone!, long time!
Looks like a good game. Any bets on classic Cook rearguard?
How do we determine this? Are we talking Cook actually finishing not out in a draw? I'd probably give him even longer odds.I'll give you 15-1 that Cook bats long enough to save the game
Who is Paul Nixon?Paul Nixon @Paulnico199 2h2 hours ago
That catch was a two handed catch, no right foot movement to a ball pitching outside off stump to a right hander it was 18 inch from knee !
Nixon firing shots at Riggins here
These jokes about him actually being a woman are getting old quite franklyGotta bowl tighter to Broad. No room at all. He's always been an off side slapper
Nah. Knowing him it's going to be 550+.I wonder what Clarke's magic number is for the declaration?
Knowing him it's not going to be as high as would be expected. Leave them something on the high end of chasable to encourage the drive from the middle order?
