Lehman going to personally speak to Warne about his comments yesterday, tbh I have no problem with what Warne said, pressure is on Starc now to prove him wrong.
Me neither- Warne was spot on.

Quote from Martyn_30_ on Day 1 thread.
Coupled with temperatures in the mids 30s that can be quite debilitating.
Re Warne's comments re Stark, I didn't think anything much of them at the time, he was talking about his demeanor as a bowler and I thought they were fair enough as an opinion. Now we know Starc was suffering from heat stress and a couple of other things so no doubt that contributed to his lack of aggressiveness but Warne didn't know that at the time and in any case it was quite clear it was an opinion not just based on yesterday's performance. Much ado about nothing if you ask me.

Aussies certainly struggled in the humid Brisbane heat of 38 or so.
If India pull out their house of cards trick, or we bowl superbly early, it's game on.
Otherwise we'll be the ones praying for rain for once.
Fingers crossed for an early fiery, wicket taking spell from MJ!

That sweat slowmo- insane!
Mitchell Johnson needs a kick in the butt and bowl better they are just picking him apart and Starc "Warne" was spot I think with what he said..
I think we need to skittle them early and then get in bat.. Rogers also needs to prove himself with the Bat..

I'll take that, creates room for another batsman.
What was said about Starc?

What do you guys think of MJ's comments on 9 then? I thought he said the right things, probably in agreeance with Heals in that he didn't sound desperate enough to go out there and knock them off.
Hopefully Warney didn't hear that.

That he looked soft in the field and had no presence or aggression I think. People have been saying it could have been due to heat exhaustion but wasnt it pretty early in the day?

Somewhat random question - what's the best site for purely Sheffield Shield stats? For example, if I wanted to see Glenn Maxwell's career stats in the Shield, what's the best site?
Cricinfo is really annoying on this front.

Anyone is better than him - even Siddle.

Warney clarifying his comments on the telecast now.
After Starc had bowled a few friendly pies in his opening overs, Warne got stuck into him about being too nice....not enough mongrel and aggression for a fast bowler.
Something like "comes across as a bit soft".....not saying his soft per se, but suggesting that his lack of aggression makes him appear that way.
Completely fair enough IMO.
