Warner gets a hundred and all of a sudden is the doyen of all cricket knowledge ....... FFS !!
Just watch the next Test, don't be expecting back-to-back tons, it won't happen, he'll fail again but everyone will be saying "he got a century in the first Test".
His form line is like a roller-coaster ride, one really good big score following by a lot of coughs and splutters, then another really good score followed by a lot of coughs and splutters.
He is way too inconsistent for me as well as being a 'heart in the mouth' type of player because he approaches every innings like it is a 20/20 slogfest.
All this crap about being a changed man because he has found love with his new squeeze Candace is a furphy too. She is a sports groupie who has been pegged by anyone with a professional contract apart from Cameron Ling. The newspapers up here a few years ago reported that she got zotted by rugby player Sonny-Boy Williams in the toilets of a Sydney nightclub, sounds like a classy woman to me. No doubt this relationship will end in tears and prove beyond doubt that Warner's impatience & poor shot selection isn't just confined to just the playing arena.
Putting Falzon to one side for a moment , his innings was quite responsible and his footwork to the spinners was particularly good.
Having said that, I agree he's a goose and could just as easily throw his innings away. TBH I reckon he's the kind of guy who gets worse when he's seeing them like watermelons because he plays to many shots.
My main concern is Smith. He's an eye player, footwork is appalling against quality pace. Yes, he'll make scores here and there, but he's suspect and unreliable.
Back to Falzon, she's ok looking I suppose. Apparently Warners lost 8 kegs since being with her so maybe she is a positive influence. She is (was?) a professional athlete in her own right.
