David Warner

Do you think he is good enough to be playing international cricket?

slippy · 06-05-2010, 01:17 PM

To me he looks really awkward when he is batting, always looking to cover drive and square cut at most Deliveries.

Matteh · 06-05-2010, 01:24 PM

Think he's a touch old these days, must be in his 60s but love him in Cross of Iron.

slowfinger · 06-05-2010, 01:30 PM

Nah, just can't say he's good enough.

Burgey · 06-05-2010, 05:41 PM

Reckon he is, for T20s anyways.

andyc · 06-05-2010, 05:42 PM

He's more than good enough to play the only format he does for Australia. Anything else is a different question.

Athlai · 06-05-2010, 05:45 PM

Always thought he was a bit crap. His first innings was pretty decent though.

Favours the legside tbh.

For me he is for 2020's, never ever will play test cricket and isn't that good of a one day batsmen at the moment either.

Warner naturally favours the off-side, very strong through point.

In longer forms of the game, he thrives on width; the "width predator" tag that James Brayshaw is very correct. He opens himself up in Twenty20 cricket to allow him a swinging arc when the ball is over the pegs.

I think he could quite definitely be a quality first class cricketer, if given a chance to bat as himself, and at number 5 or 6. That's where he's made to play in the longer forms of the game. He was seen as a super finisher in OD cricket as a youth, and I think he could possibly carve out a role like that in the future.

Not that old yet is he Jack?

I imagine time's on his side in terms of development. Could see him being a very handy ODI player once he learns to play the right tempo for the situation. Can't say I've seen any of him in longer forms at all.

26th match: Delhi Daredevils v Kolkata Knight Riders at Delhi, Mar 29, 2010 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

This innings makes me believe that Warner has a genuine chance at ODI success. He played so well then, wasnt so much a slogger, but held the team together when the other top order bats fell.

Easily.

Turns 24 in October.

Sehwag wants Warner to play test cricket.

Debris · 06-05-2010, 10:55 PM

Definitely T20 and possibly ODIs. Not even close to Test cricket yet.
