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.

Marsh squandered a ton there.

Labiashame gone.

Pitch playing up a bit on day 3 but this is some good application from Pakistan's pace men

Starc sorted his shit out overnight. Nice wicket

Geez Mitchell Marsh had had a handy game with the bat

[NTA]

Starc firing. Strike rate of 11 so far

No day 5 likely.

Excellent effort. Not many have gotten the magical five hundy.

Easier nowadays for guys than in the past ( particularly if you play for Oz, England or India ) but you still have to go out there and get them.

Ashwin on 489 will join him soon enough ( really quickly if his next tests are scheduled for India cough cough )

Lyon’s record much more consistent no matter where he plays.

Pakistan predictably crumbling away from home, I can see a 3-0 drubbing coming up.
