Yeah he’s very rocks and diamonds but not in the normal sense of a good/ bad innings or game. He seems to do it in seasons and years. But I do think they crueled him by giving him the gloves coming off a long injury lay off.Nah. He was really really bad as a specialist bat for a couple of years.
Pretty sure he actually averaged more as a keeper before that mad run last year. Admittedly a lot of that would have come from his previous really good year in 2016. Has had a really strange career.
I mean I wanted him gone for good at one point as we all did but according to TMS he averages something like 20 less with the gloves than withoutNah. He was really really bad as a specialist bat for a couple of years.

a problem entirely of their own making as Warner has been past his expiry date with warnings for sometimeIt’s been said 1000 times and that doesn’t make it any less true - Australia’s problem is that we don’t have a specialist opener who is likely to be an improvement on Warner
It really is that simple
It's a silly argument when you consider how bad he's been. 'We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas'.a problem entirely of their own making as Warner has been past his expiry date with warnings for sometime
Not according to cricinfo. Despite all the runs he scored last year his averages with and without the gloves are pretty much identical.I mean I wanted him gone for good at one point as we all did but according to TMS he averages something like 20 less with the gloves than without
He had a great calendar year in 2016 with the gloves averaging 58 with 1400 test runs. The following year he averaged 34.31, then 29.87, then 18 in 2019. He took the gloves again 2021 for one test and scored 37 runs across two innings, and this year he's scored 141 at 23.50. So he hasn't really batted well with keeping duties since 2015/16 season through to 2017/18 season.Not according to cricinfo. Despite all the runs he scored last year his averages with and without the gloves are pretty much identical.
There was some stat going around about him a lot less in innings after keeping though?
That’s not correctIt's a silly argument when you consider how bad he's been. 'We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas'.
Honestly who would you have liked to see tried instead?It's a silly argument when you consider how bad he's been. 'We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas'.
the only one who’s even a valid consideration is essentially one concussion away from retirement/something worseHonestly who would you have liked to see tried instead?
And no, "anyone else" is not a valid answer
Can’t remember exactly but might have just been last few years. They went onto mention output after keeping highlighting his only decent performance this series being before he kept. Not a coincidenceNot according to cricinfo. Despite all the runs he scored last year his averages with and without the gloves are pretty much identical.

Ward is a good player, but he’s not a test level player (yet). He played at Burgeys club here in Sydney so that’s where a lot of it comes from lolBurgey keeps waxing about Hunt or Ward and someone else suggested Whiteman too
trying Harris before, finding out he was a failure then going back to him and then pointing out at him as the reason to keep Warner in is silly. its what India did with Dhoni even when he was clearly past it in odis at the end
Bairstow as Keeper in 1st innings where he hasn't kept averages 52.70, and then averages 35.33 in his 2nd inningsCan’t remember exactly but might have just been last few years.

Cheers, probably thatBairstow as Keeper in 1st innings where he hasn't kept averages 52.70, and then averages 35.33 in his 2nd innings
When he bats 2nd after keeping he averages 27.20 in 1st innings and 16.64 in his 2nd
So clue for Bairstow as keeper is to bat first, totally opposite to Bazball (Bairstow as batsman only averages 52.72 in 4th innings chasing)
