The other amusing thing is George Bailey's appointment as a National selector

Can you imagine the advice George might give ...young player "I'm struggling with my stance ..any advice ?? " George "Your facing the wrong direction ...don't look at the bowler , his wrist ,the ball , which side the ball in shiny son "

Good knock from Warner. Hard work and he prevailed. I’m not a fan but credit to him.

Side note: 22 overs in the session - absolutely disgraceful

How's Labuschagne? He is not getting roped into scoring quickly. Happy to settle back in and push the ball around until the right ball comes along to pick off.

Was just talking to a mate saying Labuschagne reminds me of Steve Waugh. Not overly blessed with natural talent but huge amounts of grit and fight. Really like this kid!

Smithy reminds me of Waugh. Not pretty but tough and most importantly, effective.

Geez cricket needs to look at its rules. Players off for rain for a couple of hours and now they go off for a 40 minute break because it’s lunch!! Crazy

Yeah they move the break when teams are changing between innings but for whatever reason it doesn't matter with inclement weather. Odd.

Warner has his centruy

Shaheen bowling well. Lacks a good short ball but otherwise his line and length are great.

Got to say Australia looking good but Pakistan have an inexperienced test team. Really looking forward to the test against New Zealand later in the summer. Should be a hotly contested series with the for NZ are in.

Marnus reminds me more of his national coach ..loves a scrap

Dont forget warner 😁😁

@TheDaBoss in the last 2 tests he was great, but he could be too inconsistent, remember he scored 2, 8, 3, 5, 61, 0 in the Ashes '19.

So Warner checks into the 300 club...

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Congratulations to Dave Warner. Takes a supreme athlete to do what he just did.
