soo where is everyone now, who wanted warner to be dropped?????
On figures you could make an argument for it. Of course if you keep playing someone even if they fail a lot, the planets will enventually align!

I'm still here. And I'll jump on 'Warner should be dropped' probably about two games in the WI tour. He's not a consistent OD player. He's done this before. In the Zim A tour he made about 50 runs in the first 5 games and then tonned up. Some may disagree but that's not good enough. In OD cricket you can't fail 5 times in a row and then make it up with one big score (ala Sehwag). He showed more willingness to, you know not bat like a dummy and stick it out instead of going for the big shot today, but you'd be a dumbarse to expect he's turned over a new leaf. I'd still rather Watson and Wade open, and I'd rather NSW try Warner out in the middle order.

But nice knock today.

hope Warner doesn't hole out here, it could be pretty entertaining if he stays cause he is absolutely buggered and wont want many more singles.

Yeah he's a bit hit and miss to be opening.

But think of the memorabilia ffs

On a sidenote, it seems a bit odd he's only faced 145 odd balls. I mean he's still faced greater than 50% of the balls bowled, but I dunno know you'd just expect it to be up around 170
