Whatever it takes!!!
I remember Warne passed the then record holder (Walsh?) in 2004 in Chennai. So he got the record twice?

He equalled the record in that SL match but didn't break it.

Yeah, I think the lack of crowds and revenue was given as a reason for their abandonment.
Surely there would be more scope now, especially as Fox would love to have that content.

Isn't this the match where Langer tried to knock the bails off inconspicously while walking by and tried to claim a hit-wicket?

Didn't Tim Paine's declaration just smack of a lack of feel for the game
If the series was up for grabs, then fair enough
But far more glory would have been brought to Australian cricket had we had the world record broken by an Australian bastman, and potentially retained for a very long time to come....than white-washing a series against a club-standard opposition, or picking up some extra points in a Test championship that not many will remember.
As though we wouldn't have bowled Pakistan out if Warner had been given an extra hour

I do suppose it clashing with the football seasons would mean that Fox has less need for it than it does over the summer, but yeah I think they might be more willing to have it than 9 ever was.

@howardj.
Maybe you can criticise the timing. Perhaps delay it for the last session after you grind them then kill them with hoop. But I like the priorities. I'd always like to see the team and victory as the main goal over personal ambition. Even when they get the decision a little wrong. So hopefully you will always get occasions when a Lawry will declare on a Marsh or a Paine will rank beating an over matched touring team (whether or not championship points are available) over the pursuit of the individual world record batting score.

Hardly, its the the rationale of the entire game. Acquiring personal records and pursuing victory aren't exclusive but they can clash and then the former should rightly give way. I mean you haven't heard Warner bitch about missing the opportunity so I don't see why anyone else should

You should really have to pass a rigorous test to be able to speak about, and write about cricket. If you're the sort of person who thinks this is even worth the most fleeting mention, you should find a new sport to discuss.

Of course he wouldn't bitch about it publicly

Since that's the only way we can know then the comment stands.
This is a good point. Warner said he was part of the decision making process to declare when they did. If it's not concerning him, it really does become a moot point - unless some people think their own nationalistic jollies are more important than the guy who actually was out there for hours on end.
So no, it didn't smack of a lack of feel of the game. When you sign up for a team sport, you unconsciously agree that in situations like that, the team will general default to the option that considers their collective goals above all else. Can't say I buy the glory line either. Has it helped the West Indies? Didn't seem to do much for them when their board imploded and their stars preferred to play T20 leagues.
And whilst the series wasn't going to be lost, 2-0 gets more Test Championship points than 1-0 does. I agree the championship is a white elephant, but it's what they're playing for - and all teams want to be there when the final is played.
Haha, this is David Warner, remember? Of course he would. He's not smart enough to squash a personal opinion for sake of doing what's right.
No one's denying your right to an opinion. You have absolute right. We're just saying we disagree.

What do you think he's going to say..."no I want to go for the record"
If so, one has no idea about how cricketers act in a group environment.
That was very Shakespearian of you, that last sentence.
No, he wouldn't say that. Although he as much as anyone is capable of it. He's done dumber things.
But just be aware that even if he wouldn't say it, that doesn't mean you're right that he was thinking it. Equally he could have been saying it with genuine honesty.

Its a strange argument when you are relying on what someone hasn't said to justify it. Doesn't matter anyway. His ambitions are secondary to the team's goals. He'd look a dick if he did complain and he'd know it. He's got alot of making up to do. There's no way he's going to make a statement placing his ambition above a captain's declaration. Which means he accepts it despite what his private feelings may be.
No one reckons anyone has to slavishly follow what others think. When there are differing povs other people reading them will just come down on one side or the other.
