Wasn't convinced by Travis Head's run glut at home over the past couple of years largely because didn't rate the opposition... but that innings today was of highest class.

Rarely get a better example of quality counter-attacking in a difficult situation by a middle-order player than that innings.

I noticed an Australian umpire been used for this match, has the rules changed or something. I thought they have gone back to neutral umpires. Not in any way am I thinking Darrel Hair dodginess here. Cant be still covid paranoia, they let crowds in

Home umpires with 3 DRS referrals is the new normal.

This match is perfect set up for us to get bowled out with a lead of 50 or less and then for someone to play the South African miracle innings that wins them the test and eventually the series.

By contrast, a lead of 100 or more on this wicket probably seals the deal. Going to be an interesting day two tstl

Just looking at some past Aussie openers and their last 25 innings in Test cricket and comparing it to Warner's past 25 innings, a small sample size:

Mark Taylor - Past 25 Innings

Runs: 1,175
50s: 5
100s: 3
Not Outs: 3
Ducks: 1
Highest Score: 334*
Average: 53.40


Matthew Hayden - Past 25 Innings

Runs: 886
50s: 2
100s: 3
Not Outs: 1
Ducks: 3
Highest Score: 124
Average: 36.91


Justin Langer - Past 25 Innings

Runs: 861
50s: 3
100s: 2
Not Outs: 4
Ducks: 2
Highest Score: 105

Simon Katich - Past 25 Innings

Runs: 1,198
50s: 9
100s: 2

Warner simply needs to get runs.

Imagine having a baby giraffe walk out on 0 at the start of play with the game on the line and you feed him medium paced half volleys for the first 20 minutes.
