Johnson breaks Warners thumb

[unbreaK]

Australia could be without David Warner for the upcoming Test tour of India after the opener was struck on the thumb by paceman Mitchell Johnson at training on Wednesday.

Warner was clearly in pain after copping the blow to his left hand, and was immediately sent off for scans to determine the extent of the injury.

The setback not only places Warner in doubt for the five-match one-day series against the West Indies starting on Friday, but also the four-Test tour of India, which starts on February 22.

The Test squad will be announced on Thursday morning, but Australia's selectors may need to tweak the team if Warner has suffered a fracture or a break.

Chalk another victim up to the vicious nets bowling of Johnson, this guy is seriously a liability that is doing more harm than good.

Hopefully one day Johnson can bring his net form into a game.

Geez I don't need more reason to hate on Johnson.

f**k..

If it's the same as what he did to Sanga then Davey'll be out for 6-8 weeks..

 

[Mr Angry]

Worst part, the self proclaimed opener will get the gig.

 

[IanG]

Make him open the batting

 

[JW]

f**king net bowlers.

f**k you Notch, Davey is in my fantasy team. So the door opens for Watto to open and maxwell to come in as well.

PS - f**k you Notch.

Khawaja comes into the squad.

 

[unbreaK]

Yep, Usman in for the first 2 ODI's against WI, it appears the fracture is only minor and he may only miss a couple of weeks. Which is good news.

 

[Mr Angry]

You should do some unbreaking mofo.

This is what happens when you pick teams based on nets performances. Bowlers try too hard and uh-oh....

Of course it's fake. You honestly don't think the real Richie Benaud is on Twitter

You guys do have an awesome net team, unbeatable in there

 

[Hallatia]

No team is beatable in the nets

 

[Mr Angry]

Na the nets would have beat WI the other day.

 

[Hallatia]

It doesn't matter how many times your wicket is taken in the nets, you can just keep batting and batting until you get comfortable and stuff and then when you're tired or someone else needs a turn, then you make way

 

[Mr Angry]

To be fair if that was like that, get bowled keep going, Starc would have got 208 wickets for 91.

 

[Hallatia]

:lol: but he wouldn't get to bowl any of his balls in a row, would have to alternate and in the nets you don't really have a field
