Border Gavaskar Trophy, India v Australia, 1st Test 9-13 Feb, 1430hrs at Nagpur

[Belnakor]

He craps on in an interview before the tour that he is going to be positive and so far nothing

At least Warner should go out on his shield. Playing his natural game.

The way he playing today he’s on the ropes covering up. Hasn’t landed a hit.

 

[Mkcaptain]

I know its not the Australian way, but I'd love to see us just make a commitment to ourselves to just bat for time. See how long we can last in these conditions.

Clearly that wasn't the instruction though based on Khawaja's shot choice...

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Hahaha so it’s not just me while there

It’s useless there sports bar it’s not too bad but everywhere else is rubbish

I went there they had the bloody rugby on!
I'm right below it in the jackpot bar and the signal sucks arse.
I'm on thier free WiFi for a couple of hours

 

[allrighty]

To give Warner some credit - grudgingly - maybe he is trying to get himself in

Warner doesn’t have the technique to do that. He needs to hit out so the field is spread.

The way he is playing it’s literally only a matter of time until he is out for sub 20.

It’s pointless. He will never be “in” against ashwin.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Shame Khawaja's visa came through with a performance like this

 

[Belnakor]

Honestly that isn’t that much turn. And it was slow turn.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Just don’t chase tge spin when it’s turning like this, play the line.

 

[Westend]

played marnus

 

[Magma]

im not sure he has any confidence in himself to pick the spinners at all.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Warner doesn’t have the technique to do that. He needs to hit out so the field is spread.

The way he is playing it’s literally only a matter of time until he is out for sub 20.

But if he does and he holes out you will be first in line to call him reckless.

Nah. I liked the way Carey played because he had a crack and made runs.

Warner is just delaying the inevitable

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

He isn’t.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

He isn’t.

I didn’t say he was, more a general comment.

 

[Plugger35]

Seems like only a matter of time until Ashwin dismisses Warner, that's if one of the other Indian bowlers doesn't dismiss him first.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Nah. I liked the way Carey played because he had a crack and made runs.

You think if Warner started going the tonk that people would all be ok with that if he holed out? Spare me.

 

[Magma]

would just like to see him more active against the spin. try and find some gaps, get some singles and twos. doing this he's just bogged down.

if he gets one and it turns a mile, so be it, what can you do? but this really is just him waiting for the ball that gets past him

 

[Jimthegreat]

The way that ball is just exploding and turning sideways maybe Warner should try batting right-handed as he thought about. No way left handers are lasting long against that

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Shot labs

 

[Westend]

But if he does and he holes out you will be first in line to call him reckless.

He is not wanting him to just slog..but to show a little more intent and put a bit of pressure on the bowler

look at marnus atm..batting sensibly and ticking along the scoring..thats good batting atm warner is just surviving

 

[Westend]

shot marnus

 

[allrighty]

every 2nd ball he just laughs and giggles with the opposition

just **Ts me

I'm a CEO and if any of my staff was doing that I would be seriously pissed. Very bad look.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Looked out

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

If it's the Indian umpire review it.
