[Aman]

Excellent plan to get rid of Smith.

Is it me or does Warner's bat look smaller?

[marlonbrowndo]

Fantastic knock by Warner. Probably the best batsman in the world after Kohli

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Determined knock from Warner. Tribute for one of his coaches who passed away(according to commentators).

[Executioner]

Warner is definitely in the same category as Kohli, ABDV and Root

 

[Chief Destroyer]

150 for Warner.

 

[Mamoon]

Warner is definitely in the same category as Kohli, ABDV and Root

He's up there in ODIs, but he's the biggest FTB in Test cricket.

 

[Hawkeye]

He's up there in ODIs, but he's the biggest FTB in Test cricket.

Yeah, Warner and Kohli are the same so far in that regard.

Kohli can somehow take that tag off though, if he's worked on his game against the moving ball.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Best opener in the world.

Lol at bringing Kohli into the discussion. He has proved himself in different conditions a lot more than Warner.

 

[Aman]

Another failure for Captain Technique.

People are starting to wake up and realize he is overrated and has zero chance of becoming an ATG.

 

[street cricketer]

When NZ were doing well in the first innings, I thought "typical of NZ to do well in the dead rubber against Australia". And then they decide that they will muck it up in the dead rubber too.

 

[The_Odd_One]

NZ vs Australia are the most boring matches in cricket today, giving SL vs India a run for their money.

Hold on there, lets not say anything TOO rash now....
