Aussie Summer of Cricket

Any truth to the rumour that Mitchell Johnson Khan has changed allegiances and is opening the bowling for Pakistan ?

True, but he's not responsible for shit bowling going on today.

And the track sounds like it has a bit in it. Pakistan haven't been accurate enough.

That'll be the first opening ton partnership Warner has been involved in for a while

This is such a @Virgil post.

It is very accurate though. Warner would never get past a Hayden/Langer combo when you’re picking an all time Aussie team from 2000 on

He'd get selected in the All Time Only Play At Home Comprised Solely Of Fuckwits team. Probably make captain too.

Vice captain at best.

Brad Haddin is a shoe in as leader.

Also home average of 43 vs 25 away and unparalleled as an absolute fluffybunny of the highest order.

Who else makes it ? Michael Clarke ? Mitchell Johnson ?

@Virgil you could name a team in a couple of seconds I’m sure.

No feet, Waj. Deserved wicket

[MN5]

In your face haters.

What a great innings from an even greater man.

Another ton for Warner.

On a pitch where both Khawaja and Labuschagne failed.

@antipodean had the Captain right. Haddin still has to edge Greg Dyer out of the team - that one's a lengthy selection discussion for the keeping spot.

That’s a good point. He was a cheating fluffybunny too.

Haddin gets in due to recency bias though.

Back to the cricket going on right now……

I do think it is pretty hilarious that Warner has got a ton after all the shit that has gone on. It actually shows a bit of character too.

Still a cock but I’ve never thought this as much as others do.

[Donsteppa]

I was thinking that Warner was a shoe-in for a ton sometime this series, even with the sideshow. He's at home v Pakistan.

Exactly this

Pretty much no critic thought he would fail this summer. But what they are doing is missing the opportunity to give a new guy a softer start than most get.

This has panned out exactly like everyone expected, Dave padding the stat sheet at home against sub-par opposition

Queue his fucking wife and other cheerleaders chiming in with "we told yous"

5 down for 346. Not a bad day's effort.

Pakistan got better as the day went on. Used the older ball very well. If they keep that going they will be in just before lunch, chasing a tick over 400.
