David Warner

[MisterMarcus]

I hope he gets strung along and gets picked for tours but not matches, because we all know he will be straight into the commentary box on retirement. Delaying that as along as possible is a high priority.

I actually thought his BBL commentary was nowhere near as bad as most of us expected.

He is better then Justin Langer

I'd agree with that, similar to Nathan Buckley, hated him as a player (though a gun of course) but I quite like him in the media.

I would have flown the in form Bancroft over.

thats an insult to bucks tbh. Bucks is a star in the media. Warner is shit.

Finch is someone who i had low expectations of but he is quite good.

 

[Westend]

fingers crossed this is it

 

[Around the Wicket]

Warner should at this point just write his book and make his millions from it and move on.

Put your house on Head opening next test

If Head get off to a quick start of 50 off 20 odd, we might be 1/51 when Khawaja shits the bed.

 

[tigs2010]

Surely Renshaw opens.

Good lord, we will still be 2/2 then

I mean it is my opinion of course.

 

[Blue1980]

Average bowling attack you reckon. Rabada, Jansen, Nortje and Ngidi. All average in the low 20's. Real average.

Bowling attack good, but looking more and more like a one off last hurrah.

 

[JackOutback]

He looked horrendous in this test tbh.

Sure, I was simply responding to the notion that Head replaces Warner and therefore Head opens. Head might be able to open in T20s and ODIs but I wouldn't have any more confidence in him opening than Warner (or perhaps Renshaw). If Head for Warner is the swap, then it should be Renshaw, Khawaja, Labuschagne, Smith, Handscomb, Head.

I’m just giddy with excitement about the impending news

 

[Rabish Binney]

Obviously hope he can score some runs this tour, but if he has a bad one, how are you picking him for the Ashes? Should’ve retired after the Sydney test.

Ronald McDonald loves him.

Unless he retires, he'll be on the kite to England.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Good lord, we will still be 2/2 then

So what happens if Head does open and fails..........the selectors will screw him up like they did to Tom Moody, changing his position and up and down the order just to accommodate Mark Waugh's failures at the time.

Yeah there's probably not a solution to this problem to be honest. Grim times ahead the next 3 tests

I don't get all the Renshaw love, his played 13 Tests for 1 hundred...

1 more than a certain other opener that Langer kept picking. He’s a better player than when he was 20.

Harris demands selection through his Shield performances, just can't get it together in Tests.

Renshaw doesn't even go well in Shield.

He did it at test level at least, he’s a better bat now too.

 

[The hands of stone]

He is beyond cooked now BBQ'd

1 hundred and 3 fifties and average of 30 in 13 Tests isn't great.

Currently averages 64 at home

Currently averages 20 away

He'll just be another flat tracker if we keep him.

Deserves a chance, like Harris got. Not saying he's the answer but deserves a crack while we wait for your Hunt, and other young options to get ready and be ready.

Think we'll find out later this week, if Warner plays then I reckon you're right, if they make a bold decision (not really bold, he's woefully out of form) and drop him for Head, then I think it'll be a really good choice.

 

[JackOutback]

Reckon it's more likely they drop Renshaw for Head than Warner.
