He sort of limped to the 200. Almost caught, comical celebration
That's fantastic. Retires hurt because he's a dimwit. Gets a double century making him undroppable for another couple of years of poor results. Australian cricket's Foster in South Africa moment.

@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.

Thanks Virgil. Your comments have been noted.
So now Green and Starc injured. Jeez we're going to struggle to get the Saffers out unless that Lyon guy steps up...

When I did the Australians who have played over a hundred tests quiz on fb he was the last one I remembered. Sure we all know the Borders, Tubbys, Waugh x 2, McGrath, Warney etc but he went right under the radar. Pretty handy record. One of 14 Aussies to play that many, NZ has four although I’d say KW and Timmy will get there early 2024…..

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

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.

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.

@mariner4life It does if you spell 'great'

Warner spent the night in a vat of pickle juice and he's back
Not for long
Nortje two wickets 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.
