Disagree Craig, I don't think Warner has any place playing test cricket. It just shows how shallow our batting is at the moment.

All out for 150. Lets see how Hughes and Warner go.

Great to see Patinson on a hattrick next innings. He deserves one after being so close last match as well!

Predict warner and hughes to be gone in the first 3 overs after tea

[MadDocker]

Another 5 for... 5/51 or something. Decent effort!

Should be an interesting afternoon. Hopefully the openers both go alright and get 30+ each.

[MadDocker]

Fucking rain... Get fucked and bring out the cricket.

[BOMB3R]

Is it raining or Tea?

[MadDocker]

Both, they have the covers on now and umpires are out standing under umbrellas.

[MadDocker]

Covers are off now. Shouldn't be long.

Edit: Warner off the mark, Hughes facing and edged the first one straight through the slips for 4... Bloody hell.

Unfortunately most people just see Warner slogging and hitting over the top in International matches and T20's. Not many people see his domestic innings. He has the ability to crash the ball along the ground and those that saw his interview last week on The Cricket Show would know he has a pretty good head on his shoulders and is far more mature in regards to his batting.

Test teams need more batsmen, especially openers that have the ability to score in unconventional areas. It throws off bowling attacks big time. Everyone said the same thing (you're saying) about Michael Slater...

[MadDocker]

Hughes is a maggot... Why the fuck do you play at a ball like that when it's how you get out every. fucking. innings?

Same old shit. The kid has talent and can turn it on sometimes but fuck he's a slow learner. Dickhead.

Edit: Ball is nipping around. Trev has almost nicked a couple as well.
