@malcolmconn putting Up with your **** talk why would anyone want to do that.

Malcolm Conn ‏@malcolmconn 2h
@davidwarner31 Its becoming increasingly obvious why Brad Haddin was brought back as vice captain. Your lengths behind in that race.

Haha, wow.

Yeah, look, he's got the self-control of a newborn puppy in batting and in life.

Drop him for Rogers. Line in the sand etc.

Richie Benaud's tweets are brilliant.

Richie Benaud's tweets are brilliant.

The "Richie Benaud" Twitter account is gold. Bloke posts a lot of quality, and he was on to this immediately.

tbh, I do wish someone of influence would call out Conn and Craddock more often but this was just a really, really dumb way of doing it.

 

[Jono]

dumb but hilarious!

Haha, Warner.

Thick as a post.

Not a genius for sure, but Ponting came back from the Bourbon and Beefsteak so I doubt it will mean much in the long term so long as he makes runs.

 

[Top_Cat]

That is a given, sir.

 

[Crazy Sam]

i'd almost promote him to captain for this.

 

[Spikey]

there's nothing to suggest he was drunk

 

[Mister Wright]

What's this one going to be called? Twittergate? Worse than Homeworkgate. Suspend him from Ashes tour.

Old heads like Adam Gilchrist - who has earnt more than $7 million in the IPL and is still playing - can get in an out without being swayed but there is mounting concern that one young Australian player in India is behaving with increased recklessness as his moral radar scrambles with a large pay cheque which far outstrips his ability.

i wish it was maxwell but it's probably not

 

[Top_Cat]

Different situation, I reckon. Ponting isn't stupid, he was young, brash and arrogant, made a mistake and he had the capability and time to learn from his mistakes without damaging his Test prospects because he was a fringe member.

Warner, on the other hand, is firmly a senior member of the team and in line for leadership positions. The expectations are much greater and the penalties for not meeting them are (and should be) different. He should know better and that he doesn't is a massive faux pas on his part.

Haha, Warner.

Thick as a post.

He debuted at the Gabba, you know.
