That's the first thing, I'd be outlawing. Change them at official breaks not between overs.

Who's with me?

If Renshaw, Harris and Bancroft are the only replacements being mentioned then I'm with you.

With the car manufacturer freshly emblazoned on the front of the Australian shirt, Warner set off on his trademark Toyota leap celebration before bounding in the direction of the commentary boxes, pumping his fist and then placing his finger over his mouth with ferocity.

If there had been any doubts as to the tone of Warner’s sentiments, they were confirmed when his wife Candice tweeted an emoji of a person being silenced.

Warner’s opening partner Usman Khawaja had noted in the past how Warner had an uncanny ability to know where noteworthy people at the ground were sitting, and Warner’s eyes appeared stationed in the vicinity of the Triple M commentary box.

Warner described his celebration as a “nice little quiet shush,” and said it was aimed at a broader group rather than Johnson alone.

Would have been a good series x2 to blood someone

Yep batsmen are just as responsible as bowlers for modern day slow over rates.

Australia's #1 couple

The grew more legs with the announcement it would be Warner's last summer - although it seems every series "is his last".

He was always going to fill his boots against these two bowling attacks (PAK and WI) - finish a hero.. but it's selfish as far as i'm concerned and we should've had an eye to the future.

Instead we potentially take an untried opener to NZ in March to play on green hooping decks, and put them immediately under the pump.

The new opener will get two tests against the Windies in Australia

If it’s between Warner, Bancroft, Harris or Renshaw I’m continuing to play Warner until he’s in a wheelchair

Stats are stats and you have to recognise that, but if there is a debate about who is best, you have to remember who those other guys played against. Has Warner faced the same attacks as the others?

BTW, I was surprised that M Waugh only averaged 41.

I get you can forgive his behavior/personality because of his talent but no one actually likes him right???? No one is putting their hand up to have a beer with him at your local hey? He definitely wouldn't shout that's for sure.

I want to.. sometimes.. but he's just got this aura about him, find him very punchable.

Great to watch in full flight and in form, and he really did have a significant impact on Australian cricket in all formats.

Also doesn't help having his wife fight his battles either.

I'd try and have a beer with him, but can't picture it lasting long - strikes me as the kind of guy who would love to talk about himself.
