Massive dope, not sure how many 300s he can score to change that.

As mentioned it's still a wonderful achievement. I rate Clarke's higher but Warner above Hayden.

If you go by country it’s pretty clear, he’s devastating in flat bouncy conditions (AUS, RSA) and mid 20’s anywhere with movement

Quite the anomaly, he’s so poor in those conditions you wonder why the selectors don’t simply use someone else

Who is that someone else? Whoever Warner has partnered hasn’t been flash either

I don’t think any Aussie opener has been reasonably good in the uk or Asia in the last decade or so

Watto ? lol

probably go back to Katich and Rogers did good in the ashes?

Yeah, good question - but it was strange he held his place in ENgland and Burns etc couldn't get a look in...

As above, he has occasionally scored runs in difficult conditons, but unsurprising given how many chances he's had

Stuart Broad might have something to say about Davey's "indomitable will", Clovelly Candice...

is this the same Broad who averages almost 40 with the ball in Australia? Not sure if he will be saying too much over here tbh...

agree with Burns, though think he was sent home during the warm up games Aust A due to health reasons, and not picked due to that

Lab could have opened rather than waiting for an injury, Khawaja too. His series was historically awful and they did nothing

Of course they’ll say it’s paying off now, but that’s bs he was always going to be ok at home

shit no, don’t think she means that either
, more so coming back from the crap year and terrible ashes...

That’s how I read it..

And my point is that she's used utterly the wrong smarmy motivational quote in her smug effort.

Because she shares an IQ with her husband.

fair enough

just don’t get the Warner hate at ever angle

But I'm not hating on Warner. I'm also not slurping his coight like a few on here, but I'm not hating on him

I'm making a comment at something said by his wife. No one cared if you hated on her rubbish when she was with Bwaiff....why the big deal now?

Massive kudos to Candice for somehow being an even more self absorbed merkin than her husband.

That's a fair effort.
