4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[TheJediBrah]

Might be close to time for Warner

He was so good in the WC though

 

[morgieb]

you cant drop warner when you haven't yet replaced chris rogers

I guess, but this Warner isn't the real Warner. He might do better at home but at this point he's getting close to unpickable.

heh like pretty much all the rest of the batsmen?

 

[aussie tragic]

Warner series average now 11.28...Butler (9.16) and Roy (9.50) getting excited about the chance to overtake him

warner and a deck chair will always be better than two deck chairs

he's woefully out of nick but you've got to show faith in your second best batsman when his best is light years ahead of your third best batsman.

 

[stephen]

I like this Archer. Nice and slow.

 

[Jarquis]

So Harris has gone from being left out of this Test by most, to your first choice opener in the space of 4 balls?

Jeez. I knew Buttler was having a poor series, but didn't realise it was quite that bad. Yeesh.

Smith, Head and Labuschagne have all done OK this series. I suppose given Wade and Harris are still playing he's a little safer but even then Harris has only had two bad innings compared to six.

 

[Flem274*]

this isn't one of the great first overs from archer

 

[Starfighter]

Harris straight into his scoring (and getting out) zone.

 

[stephen]

Geez that's right in Harris' zone. Bowl him bumpers if you want to be rid of him.

Not that far away from the real Warner. Apart from Bangladesh I don't think he's scored a ton outside Oz since 2014; him being a home-track bully pretty much a constant for him now.

 

[Starfighter]

Geez that's right in Harris' zone. Bowl him bumpers if you want to be rid of him.

Just let him cut/drive one straight to point or gully.

Yeah I suppose. Just a question of whether he actually is our second best batsman away from home.

He's lucky that after The Oval the next few Tests are at home where he's always done well and I agree, not picking him in those is stupid.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Broad is getting these massive off-cutters going at will. He's turning it nearly as much as Nathan Lyon but at 85 mph!

 

[stephen]

Warner really doesn't know how to bat when the ball isn't coming on to the bat. He likes it true and fast and can't really handle other conditions well.

 

[Starfighter]

I think there's a bit of grip in this pitch.

 

[social]

Nope

Warner has run out of get out of jail free cards

Guy is a ****

Disgraceful that he’s playing

 

[Flem274*]

are these ****s going to watch the speed gun until he hits 150 clicks?
