“opposition sides don’t fear him anywhere near as much as they used to David Warner”
Especially Stuart Board or anyone that could roll an arm outside Australia totally feared Warner.

Every Aussie rated from second Test and series vs West Indies: Did Smith the opener get vindicated even in defeat?

Feels like that, although one would think there is enough support around batsmen to get around that kind of mantal challenge.

IMO, the thing with batsmen like Warner and Smith is their strength lies in hand eye coordination, and as they age the runs do dry up.

On other hand, batsmen like Usman, have better technique, not without limitations, but as they age, batsmen like him can hold their own.

Test cricket summer random predictions: Head to surpass top duo, Lyon on the hunt, Warner's farewell and who'll replace him

Cummins was brilliant, he has moved from national hero to national treasure. Those critical of him, please zip it from here on.

What a win!!

CHAMPIONS! Head's heroic ton, bowling brilliance sees Aussies crush India for SIXTH - and best - World Cup win

Hahaha, jeez, how sweet was the victory.

Feel for Rohit and co, they are decent blokes, it’s the BCCI that’s killing the game led by ignorant and ill suited Jay Shah.

ICC announces World Cup final to be 'best of three' following India's loss, BCCI complaint

How is a player of this quality not playing Test Cricket, such loss for Australia and cricket fans.

3 Aussies have scored a Test 100 against India, in India, in last 8 years (Maxi, Smith, Uzi)

Glenn the Greatest - ever! Maxwell's magnificent double-ton rescues Aussies, stuns Afghanistan in WC epic

Looking beyond stats, Warner has struggled on any pitch that is slightly challenging.

Twin DRS controversies leave Aussies fuming as latest collapse, fielding nightmare sum up huge loss to Proteas

I like Warner, at one point he was our best batsman. He should have retired 2 years back and stuck to T20.

IPL is probably the best barometer of player’s worth, and there his performances have significantly dropped.

Last World Cup Finch cost us, this one it’s Warner.

Everyone and their dog can see Warner is done, in Test cricket few years ago, and in short form too, yet we persist.
Marsh, was expecting a lot from him, and he pulls a Marsh, delivers very little when it counts.
Cummins, sadly the team is carrying him.
Stoinis and Green are bit-part players, on challenging wickets we need specialists, currently we only have Smith and Marnus.
Anyone here remember when we last won an ODI series in India, what was the blueprint? We played specialists starting with 4 best batsmen that can play on challenging conditions not just flat tracks.
Don’t need to look far, look at India, 4 specialists at top.

They can win the battle of fear, battle of entertainment, and all things that go with it, we will take the urn and series win, thank you.

UK View: 'Worst I've seen Australia bat' - 'Snail-like' tourists' go-slow savaged as Bumble claims Smith was run out

We won the first innings, bring on the second, and yes, our bowlers are fresh, their bowlers not so much.

Also might remind the English press, we have retained the Ashes and are leading the series 2-1.

Whatever suits you mate, how far back do you want to go with the term.

'Incredibly proud' Bairstow's think of the kiddies sledge for Aussies over that stumping

Wasn’t for you Don ????

'Incredibly proud' Bairstow's think of the kiddies sledge for Aussies over that stumping

Even a broken clock is right few times a day, Cummins is a world class cricketer and a top bloke who is having a testing time, wheel will turn, it’s always does.

Resurgent England you say! Hang on are we still 2-1 up!

Apologize, my son wrote that

Uzzy's the man! Khawaja's finest ton keeps Aussies afloat, but advantage England after top-order failures

Usman Khawaja is hella good

Best yes, enjoyable not so much. I could not deal with Gilly constantly struggling and Haydos too.

India 2027 tour planning starts now: Plenty of time but none to waste for Aussies to break drought on next trip

I like it, would replace Paris with Neser.

FLEM’S VERDICT: Green a gun, Uzzy on fire, new spinners step up - Plenty to like for Aussies' revenge mission

This will be a big test for Usman, he probably is the best batsman against spin in the world right now, can he show similar class and application in seaming conditions against Anderson with new cherry in hand.

Can’t wait!!

I’ve no idea how he gets air time. Agreed, great on-field Captain, but just a silly and dishonest person off it.

David Saker joins England coaching team for Ashes, surely they must have some NDA?!
I understand it’s a job, but at what point does being an Australian come into play.

Joining specifically for Ashes!!

Warner definitely has some naked pics

Watto was really good, then Clark ran him to ground.

Khawaja scores changeless 180 as opener, facing new ball, Kohli, two chances for similar amount of runs in his backyard.

MOM is another joke, no credibility.
