Marnus was supposed to be the next Australian superstar but he’s out there being unprofessional and childish like this.

I expect PSL to impose a fine on the captains for this if we are to be serious about preserving the brand of PSL. This is Pakistan. Come to our country only to play serious cricket and not for these childish acts.

Don’t be immature. This was not some Instagram reel. It’s the captains press conference before the PSL commences. Serious business. At a time when we are competing with global leagues, especially the behemoth in the neighbourhood we are going head to head against, this is poor PR for us. This cannot be ignored. Anyone who wanna be childish can go seek an appointment with Epstein’a friends.
 
To this day I stick to this claim that a major component, if not the biggest component to Babar’s downfall is the fact that he allowed Rizwan to get too close to him and destroyed his work ethic.

This press conference is a good example of how his behaviour alters with Rizwan around him.

In case your definition of lashing out is not David Warner putting his fellow captains on crippler cross face and jumping a frog splash on them, that’s literally what he did.

Calling them school kids is definitely calling them out
 
I think one factor is that all PSL teams have been training together at the same place and are all staying in the same hotel together

So a lot of them might have got carried away with cross team bonding. There seemed to be no decorum of seriousness here at all. Why was Shaheen acting like the ABBA of the entire PC? Mate you went for 26 against Shanaka in the last over you bowled in T20i

It’s not a joke. You must prove yourself with years of experience in a similar administrative role. This is Pakistan
We’re talking about. One of the top 3 greatest cricket nations ever after West Indies and Australia

This requirement of years of experience seems to be fairly recent, not upto date on IT

Babar is not a doodh peeta bacha. He is a 30 plus year old adult. He knows the difference between right and wrong

He was always bit shy and did not know when to say no. He was taken advantage of by those who were nearest to him.

Calling them out and lashing out are two different things. I didn't see Warner react in intense anger. It was a bit like a school teacher politely telling the backbenchers of the class to quiet down.

I don’t think Warner was at that point.

He was giving a serious answer and those guys carried on sniggering at something

Naa, he was just in a chill mode.

The press conference itself is a joke with the kind of questions that are ask, so no one takes it any serious.

The onus is on the journalists to ask proper questions. Players will treat it a circus with the kind of stuff that is asked.

No he isnt. His on the field antics before his wife was bashed by South Africa is well known.

He was the most unprofessional guy on the field

They did ask proper questions. Shaheen didn’t want to answer them. Nor did Babar about his strike rate

Not necessarily. A Muslim must rule the Khilafah, but a sports organization? Warner will do great. No heehee haha under his watch from the high 5 gang. Will give a beating with the bat if necessary for an x amount of dot balls consumed per innings.

Plus he is white and speaks English, already popular amongst the masses and Indian BCCI officials will respect him for this.

It’s time to give Warner Bro a shot. Can I get the Irani vote of confidence on this matter from you?
 
I remember the ICC ODI WC 2019 Captains press conference. It was a one hour affair where captains maintained professionalism and also dropped in light hearted humor where needed. Reporters asked everyone if there is one opposition player that they fear or they wish they had in their team.

Kachra Karachi media needs to be kept away from these press conferences. You need educated well spoken press reporters who can ask intelligent questions like an Osman Samiuddin.

Who will answer the intelligent questions ?

Easy to blame media. But looks at level of the players.

Someone with a bit of savvy can put kachra media in their place quickly.
 
Instead of wasting money on shitt shows like PSL invest in 4 day domestic make son in laws play there. So when a icc tournament comes along we don’t need to worry are we going to beat netherlands etc.

Because teams and players have long term reputational loss if they do badly in an ICC World Cup.

Not too many consequences for slipping up in a T20 league. Nobody will even remember 6 months from now.

I don't know how Labuschagne is like off the field, but Warner is probably the only one is the leader and captain and has proven his mettle over the years (minus the whole sandpaper fiasco). He understands the game well, leads the team well with clarity and has presence.
Saud may be a fine tactician but he has no presence and doesn't fit leading the t20 team let alone opening. Babar and Rizwan are known commodities and they aren't very good either.
Shaheen does have leadership abilities but he is too self centered to be a good captain at the international level. His indifference to 10 players playing alongside him is not fit enough for a captain let alone his declining fitness and form and inability to learn new tricks. For Shaheen, it's always about inserting himself at the center stage.
The less said about Shadab, the better. That's just his ceiling, he'll simply be a t20 player now and never be good enough to merit a place in the team at international level.
I am not sure about Turner, but Perth Scorchers have been a very well led and organized team since the days of Katich.
It's good that KK didn't give Agha the captaincy job, cause after looking at his tactics in wt20, he ruined all the goodwill he had.
 
Pak Cricket needs no nonsense hardtask masters like Warner, Langer and Haddin to beat discipline and urgerncy into these players' lazy mindsets.

Warner is making a troll response in joke but you seriously believed that? Lol

You used the Twitter account to target Indians and say Indians are making a fuss. If it's a fake account how do you know it's Indian? Why can't it be an attention seeking Pakistani troll (like there are a couple of trolls here pretending to be indian)? Why can't it be any other nationality?

And how does Warners response make any sense considering the actual video?

Because anybody these days can make a joke about Pak cricket and PCB and it all feels real. Fine on Naseem Shah, Players fined for losing to India, trophy chori and the list goes on. This also looked almost real to people who don't know it's Jadeja fake account and only became clear when Warner replied.

Be worried my man
 
Former Australian batter David Warner has been charged with drink driving after allegedly recording a blood alcohol reading twice the legal limit in Sydney.

The former Test opener reportedly blew 0.104 following a breath test on Sunday evening in the eastern suburb of Maroubra.

According to a statement provided to news.com.au, New South Wales Police said the 39-year-old stopped and parked his van just before reaching a random breath testing site.

Officers then approached the vehicle and subjected him to a roadside test, which returned a positive result.

Warner was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station, where a second test allegedly produced a reading of 0.104. The legal limit for a fully licensed driver in New South Wales is 0.05.

The 112-Test veteran is due to appear before Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday 7 May 2026.

In a statement, NSW Police said: “About 5:30pm today (Sunday 5 April 2026), police were conducting stationary random breath testing on Malabar Road, Maroubra. A van was seen to allegedly stop short of the testing site and park.

“Officers attached to Traffic and Highway Patrol Command approached the vehicle and subjected the driver – a 39-year-old man – to roadside testing which returned a positive result.

“He was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station where a second test allegedly returned a reading of 0.104.

“The man was issued with a Field Court Attendance Notice for drive with middle-range PCA [Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol] to appear before the Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday 7 May 2026.”

For the unversed, Warner, who currently captains the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), is set to arrive in Karachi on April 9 for the second leg of the competition’s 11th edition.

Reports suggested that Warner planned a short trip back home.

This decision came during a gap between matches, which gave Karachi Kings players time to rest and recover.

It's expected he'll return before team match but let's see what's loading now amid legal proceedings

Revealed: What David Warner told police after he was allegedly busted drink driving

Cricket great David Warner told police he'd been drinking with a friend before allegedly blowing more than twice the legal limit in a random breath test, it has been reported.

Warner was stopped at a roadside breath testing unit at Maroubra in Sydney's east on Easter Sunday.

Police said Warner was driving a van that stopped and parked short of the testing site.

The former Test cricketer allegedly told officers he had consumed three glasses of wine at a friend's house before attempting to drive back to his Maroubra residence, News Corp reported.

Officers approached the vehicle and breath-tested Warner, who returned a positive result for alcohol, police said.

He was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station for further testing

The 39-year-old was charged after allegedly producing a blood alcohol reading of 0.104 - more than twice the legal limit.

Warner has been captaining the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League in recent weeks, scoring 50 in their last game in Lahore on April 2.

His stint comes on the back of a record-breaking season in the Big Bash, where he averaged 86.6 for the Sydney Thunder and was named captain of the official team of the tournament.

The Thunder declined to comment on the incident.

Warner was one of Australia's most destructive batsmen until his retirement from Test cricket in 2024, and he has since appeared on the Fox Cricket commentary team.

He hit 8786 runs at an average of more than 44 across his 112 Tests, with a high score of 335 not out against Pakistan.

If found guilty, Warner's alleged drink-driving incident could endanger his professional partnerships.

Cricket NSW and Transport for NSW have maintained a 23-year partnership, which culminated in the Road Safety Cup.

The annual contest, which began in 2023, pits the Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder against each other while shining a spotlight on road safety.

This is not the first time Warner has come under fire during his career.

He was one of the three players suspended after a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa that shook the cricketing world.

He will face Downing Centre Local Court on the mid-range drink driving charge on May 7.

Gotta admire the entitlement of the wealthy sportsmen, they can afford to take a flight back to their homeland during a few days break just for a drink of beer

Clearly the trauma of how he was treated in PSL and the unprofessionalism drove him to drink. Can understand what a shock it would have been for a professional player like him.

No idea what religion has to do with any of it.
