Title: "Bloody Warner"
Post by: InternalTraining on November 14, 2019, 02:40:59 PM
What's wrong with people?! Didn't he get himself in enough trouble to nearly lose his career and now he is back to his old shenanigans.

A bit of chirp is hardly anything noteworthy is it?

I supposed Stokes has got to sell a few copies of his new book somehow though, so you may as well s*it on one of the most hated blokes in the sport...

Doesn’t really go into detail about what he said. If he was just giving him some chirp got no problem with that

I think Stokes is saying it just fired him up to get England over the line. No harm done and Warner won’t change that’s the point.
Yet to be convinced any sledging really works at the highest level anyway, seems to just make top players more determined or they ignore it.

Broad doesn’t seem to say much he had Warner toasted every game.

Guess he didn’t need to say anything to him  :)

^ Bairstow? What has he done other than hit those amazing wrist-flick shots for sixes and boundaries?

Regardless of what people’s opinions are in the bloke... he’s in hell of a cricketer!

Same could be said for root, only scores when it’s flat  ;) or once the series is done

I won’t defend root. He isn’t doing enough currently but this thread is about Warner isn’t it ?

Jesus Christ. Some of the bull crap written on here about international players, from people who haven't got the first clue about what it takes to be an international cricketer beggars belief.

Opinions are like ass holes, everyone's got one.
