“He was operating via, he’s actually labouring a bit bit and it’s not the David Warner we’re used to seeing. He actually just isn’t even near 100 per cent match. It’s not a terrific signal,” Hussey mentioned on Fox Sports.
Adam Gilchrist, in the meantime, claimed that Warner checked out “about 75 per cent (fitness)” and that he didn’t have the “usual aggressive sprinting” to his recreation between the wickets.
And then there was Mark Waugh who lambasted the skilled opener for chasing a supply that early within the innings.Â
“That’s just a loose shot,” Waugh mentioned. “That’s not a shot you wish to be enjoying within the first 20 minutes of a Test match,” Waugh mentioned. “You’re driving on the up, it’s not there to drive and it’s large as effectively and also you’re throwing your palms at it.
“Even if his groin was okay, he would have needed to take an almighty step to get even near that supply.
“Just an impatient shot really and maybe trying to get runs on the board quickly.”
