@Duluth I'm surprised Sehwag isn't on that list given the way he played and the lifeless pitches he often batted on.

"scoring a ton in a session" (which is impressive but hardly out of this world)
Doing it in the first session of a test match is rare
5th Batsmen to score century before lunch on the first day of a Test.And I think the first to do it in Australia?

This is not an NZ v Aussie thing, more a personal dig at Warner, but from what I gather Warner turned down a 3rd run to ensure he kept strike, so that he could hit a ton in one session. The other day Kane told Neesh to finish the job leaving himself stranded on 95* with no chance of a century.
Both very driven blokes. One focussed on personal milestones, one focussed on his teams success regardless of any personal milestones.
Kane did that in an ODI against Bangladesh. It was a nothing game and a nothing innings that meant nothing.
Warner's innings was truly historic. He did something that has never been done in a test match in Australia. If he tried to slog sweep a ball on middle stump on the last ball before lunch I'd agree with you, but what he did was pretty reasonable IMO.
Yep, giving up one run against a crappy Pakistani team is hardly going to make a difference. What annoys me more is when declarations are delayed by a few overs just to allow a batsman to achieve a milestone.

That was awesome. Thunder need 5 from he last ball and Morgan slaps it for 6. Epic.

Lynn and Baz just tore Perth a new one. Baz 50 from 31 balls and playing 2nd fiddle to Lynn who belted 11 sixes to finish 98 from 49. Awesome hitting.

Bloody foreign imports, denying our man a century

Shane Watson may be a tool, and an ordinary test player, but shit he's a handy T20 player. Great bowling last night backed up with some huge hitting to keep his side "alive".

He was always quality in the shorter forms, one of the best allrounders going at his peak. I don't think he was handled that well in tests, though him being a cock probably had a lot to do with that.

Fuck I love Brett Geeves's writing.
On Monday, he wrote a pretty decent article about the prep for playing a test in India, based on suggestions that Matt Renshaw was astoundingly not guaranteed his place on the plane to India. It was a fair article about scheduling etc
Darren Lehman was asked about, and pretty much wrote it off because Geeves "wasn't a very good player"
And so today to Geeve's response
Delightfully pissy at the bottom
