He has  simply gone bezerk...smashing anything and everything to the boundary.

When in this mood - Warner is a freak.

[Elsi]

Class batting from Warner, went for a six to bring his 2nd century up... take a bow!

Special mention to Ben Hilfenhaus, taken 18 wickets or so in 3 games after coming back to the team! Very well played.

What do you think?

Nathan Astle's  200 off 153
Dave Warner    104 off 80


96 runs off 72 balls for the record 200, very possible!!

Could have had another 4, but the ball hit a seagul

[Wolfie89]

How hard he hits the ball I'm assuming said seagull is dead, langer

With the bowling unit working as well as it is, will Mitchell Johnson get back in the team?
They still have Cummins and Pattinson to come back from injury!

As much as I like seeing the Indians cop a flogging, I am getting more joy from watching grubby old Duncan go through it.

Lol, the bird was lucky. He hit the ball firmly, but didn't smoke the cover of the shot that his the seagul, so it was only struggling for a little bit. It managed to recover quickly and flew off with the others.

It is a very lucky bird.

Awesome stuff from Warner!!

A 3 day test match is on the cards I feel....

The wives of Indian cricketers are off shopping they have 2-3 free days with India fielding now. No wonder BCCI has to pay so much to team India and high sponsorship rates.

I think for tests, the individual sponsors logos should be moved from the bats to the backside of the pants as this will guarantee maximum exposure for their brands.

credit where credit is due..warner has played brilliantly...more players like him are needed in the test match arena.

The Indian bowlers havent helped themselves, they have strayed in their line and length, and just havent swung the ball enough in the right areas. They didnt come out with any aggression or fight. They look like overpaid-overweight amateurs.

Selectors need to be shot, and the coach needs to be given full responsibilty of team affairs  including selection and tour schedule ( warm up games)

Nothing will be done though, as all the money is in the IPL and one day game. Once the likes of tendulkar and co call it a day, if things continue to slide on the field, I see public interest in cricket diminishing in India. By this time the current  BCCI board will be living it up in some 7 star hotel in Dubai.

God knows why Vinnay Kumar is playing ahead of Aaron, infact ahead of anyone!
 
Someone gets that seagulls number quick.he saved a 4....hopefully he'll have some Indian grandparents and we can draft him into the team...

BCCI should be shot! The batsmen should be shot! The Fielders should be shot! The Bowlers should be shot! The Coach should be shot! IPL should be shot! Or I will shoot myself!! 

[100 not out]

To be honest the media in India over hypes these players resulting in over inflated ego's. India need to prepare better wickets at home so that they improve away from home. Im beginning to think the term "flat track bullies" is apt for them at the moment. 

[100 not out]

The cupboard must be bare  . . .Vinay Kumar dont look international standard to me.
