    Unfasthionable opinion. David Warner is one of the great batsmen of the last 20 years and never gets the credit he deserves. To score a double ton on his 100th Test at the MCG will have been a sweet moment for him after coping a lot of shit in his career.

      @antipodean he was cramping up to shit well before the stupid attempt at a jump. Probably wrecked anyway

      Any excuse to have a go at Davey.

      It’s the kiwi way.

      In any case possibly a bit of a dick….definitely a modern great. I love watching him bat.

      Two things can be true. His record speaks for itself. He's also a colossal piston wristed gibbon.

      I’ve done some googling to refresh my memory. There are a few incidents to support you.

      I think you’re right but he is fantastic to watch when on form. People just seem quick to jump on and have a go at him and forget that he’s an absolute class player.

        You right, he's a great batsman, but definitely right up there real high in the dick catergory.
        I can never stop seeing in my mind when he pretended he was going to have a crack at a Saffa who made some reply to about Warner's Mrs after Warner called hin a c***. It was a classic of hold me me back boys or else...............

              averages 60 in Aus, South Africa and Bangladesh

              Averages 26 in England, 24 in India, 26 in the Windies, 25 in Sri Lanka and 13 in NZ. Has never scored a 100 in any of those countries

              That does not say "great" to me.

                      Nice ball from Nortje to get a deserved second wicket in two balls.

                          Elgar is a shit captain. Nortje takes out two batsmen bringing the tail to the crease, and keeps his bullshit spread field for a hat trick ball.

                          Two more slips and a silly mid off was the call

                              Similar sorts of numbers to Latham really. And look, most batsmen pad their averages against the shit sides, but agree to be a great you should at least have a respectable record in the tougher conditions.

                                  Carey is such an enormous upgrade on Paine

                                  (incidentally, where does a bog average cricketer with 35 tests get the unmitigated gall to release a book?)

                                  This Australian side right now looks easily the best in the world. Their batting is full of runs, Lyon is still a canny operator, we've discussed the ridiculous pace depth already, and Green is coming along nicely.

                                  Horribly one-sided summer of cricket.

                                      This Australian side right now looks easily the best in the world.

                                      Haven't you heard? - England are reinventing cricket

                                      Best side ever, anywhere, any time - in the history of the game.
