Ah, so this is a new bar set for stupidity. Not only has every single run of Davey Warner's career been hit on a flat track, he is incapable of even hitting the ball off the square outside of Oz. I still remember that "flat" Hobart deck he scored an unbeaten ton on in his second test match.

Renshaw? Lol play and miss specialist. Major deficiencies outside his off stump for mine.

Just keep pushing for a convicted cheat who didn’t and probably still doesn’t understand his position as vice captain in the Australian cricket team.

Lol 'convicted'

If Statsgururower had his way we wouldn’t send anyone over, we’d send a calculator over to crunch those numbers he likes so much........

That was a great hundred. Tough, in hard conditions

You'd have to admit, though, that it took until the last tour of Bangladesh for him to score another of that quality

Don’t forget the flat tracks of South Africa as well. He loves playing on those roads.

He absolutely flattened a strong SA side in their own backyard in 2014, even in the test we got pumped in that series, he still stood up. He was immense against a world class pace attack.

Runs in the 1st innings is great to set the game up and is very important but the most crucial innings usually is the 3rd innings of the test whether batting or bowling especially if the game is fairly even up until that point. Warner and Khawaja are the 2nd and 3rd best batsmen in the country daylight 4th so its irrelevant anyway they need to be in the side no matter where they play. Anyone you replace them with won't be capable of doing the job.

Not really the same level as the Hobart and Bangladesh hundreds. Good but not world class. The conditions are pretty similar over there to here, really. Well, they were before all their pitches started dying, but that's a different discussion

The bloke is undoubtedly a flat track bully, but like I've said, that's not the reason I wouldn't have him in the side.

You also labelled Hayden a flat track bully. Him and Warner are better than that imo-though Dave needs hundreds in English conditions.

Lol flicked over to see what was happening, Warnie was seriously trying to suggest Yasir Shah as the best spinner in the world.

He looked like it against us.

Definitely better in Asia, but NZ seems to have very little idea of how to play him. Averages 25.35 against us. We always struggle.

It's a sham there wasn't more play yesterday.

Pretty gutted the top order didn't show some intestinal fortitude in Melbourne. The Indian meltdown on Reddit if they'd been denied a win here would have been the best thing since sliced bread.
