People don't like Warner commentating but he has some good insight. Speaking of his time when he was dropped early in his career because he couldn't differentiate between odi and t20 batting. This is what the team need to do with jfm. He shouldn't be near the line up till he learns tempo. He himself has said he's always gonna try hit the ball but this is not the way odi is played. There is still time to bat. Look at today's batting he kept trying to hit it out of the park from the get go.

Don’t seem to be in that much of a hurry by the looks of our captain there

Required Run Rate = 0.93
That sounds like a perfect opportunity to risk a(n extra) 3rd run on a misfield!

"Pakistan have had their second warning for breaching the 60-second mark between overs. One more and it's five runs to Australia."
I must have missed when the AFL made this a rule... Was it at the same time as the "stand still on the mark" rule. That must have been one helluva bender!

Well, i will admit that was more "entertaining" than i thought a 200 run chase would be.

One of the great commentary debuts from D Warner - so much to look forward to on that front this Summer.
He was brilliant cricketer. Shame about what he did as he would’ve made a sensational captain in white ball cricket.
One of the dumbest successful ODI chases I've ever seen.
JFM needs to hear what Warner said tonight, about developing gears and not having to attack every ball.
Can't see him sticking around at international level long, if he doesn't.

Said the same above. Not just him too many players have this same mentality, t20 has done this ruining odi cricket. Harper is the exact same. Short to an extent aswell.
Exactly!
50 overs is what most teams bowl by tea these days. An opener like JFM has plenty of time, so there's no need to play panic cricket. Can wait for the bad balls, while turning over the strike.
Playing with intent, not like a headless chook. Warner and Gilly did this very well, looking to score quickly without just swinging from the hip.
You're right that T20 hasn't helped. But even then the best T20 batsmen are able to play to the conditions and match situation.

He had a great test record at home averaging 58 and in South Africa, averaging 63.
However, his overall test record away from home was very ordinary, especially against England averaging just 26 and India just 22.
Very fortunate nott to have been dropped after the 2019 Ashes tour when he averaged just 9.5 in 5 tests.

Has there been that many players that have played well on all continents? Bar the all time greats of course.

Of our top order bats, Taylor, Boon, Langer and Hayden were far more consistent and averaged more than Warner away from Australia.
Taylor averaged 43 both home and away, Boon - 46 home and 40 away, Langer 48 and 41, Hayden 58 and 41. Debatable who of those were absolute greats if any. But all were significantly better than Warner because they performed well almost everywhere in the world.
Good cricketers but flat tracks and average quicks ( apart from South Africa perhaps) and they made hay.

Good cricketer at home which gave him a decent overall record, unlikeable bloke who I will avoid almost as much as Mark Waugh in commentary (please put them on together Foxtel, thanks) and got 5 years too long in his test career

Hayden batted very well in India on big turners and Taylor and Boon played when the West Indies were still a force. Boon averaged 41 against the Windies from 1984-1995 - not many did better. They all made runs in England - the Poms weren't strong but they made them. Point is they were all reliable overseas, Warner was far from it.
Good cricketers no doubt. But the averages were inflated a bit because of who they were facing. Like the English bowling attack was pretty mediocre for a long time. There also seemed to be a lot more flat tracks around both in Aussie and Overseas. (thankfully the cricket world has woken up to the fact that a pitch that produces 20 wickets in 5 days isn't a "good" wicket)
