  • Australian batsman doubtful to play in third test match also

Warner was actually injured while fielding in the second match of the three-match ODI series against India, after which he was ruled out of the third ODI and the three-match T20 series and did not fully recover from the injury. Both were out of the first Test matches. In the absence of Warner, the Australian team is facing trouble in the opening.

    Australian coach Justin Langer shared information about Warner’s injury on Sunday, saying, “We saw Warner doing batting practice. Warner also batted in the MCG this afternoon and he is doing well in batting practice, but there is still problem in his muscles. We know how much the team will benefit from his presence. “In the absence of Warner, the Australian team has failed to form a major partnership in terms of openings, which the coaches are very disappointed with.

    Coach Langer said, “We are unable to catch the match. If you look at the first Test and the first innings of this match, then we have failed to form a partnership. We have to improve a lot in this matter. “Langer said in an interview with Ricky Ponting,” No one can be more professional than Warner and he is doing everything he can to overcome the injury. He said that the Australian team is not able to score much in their innings, due to which the bowlers have to work harder.

    He said, “Warner is running between the wickets and we hope that he will recover soon but only time will tell when he will be fine.” We still have a few days to go for the start of the third Test match. “The third Test match between India and Australia is to start in Sydney on January 7.

    Australian opener David Warner feels Rohit Sharma’s absence is a big loss for the Indian team but asserted that the visitors are well equipped to have in-form replacements. Rohit has been rested for the limited-overs series against Australia that gets underway on November 27. KL Rahul will be the vice-captain for the white-ball of Team India’s tour Down Under.

  • “Humble” David Warner Says He Won’t Respond To India Taunts

    Australian opener David Warner vowed Monday to keep his temper in check during the upcoming series against India, predicting Virat Kohli’s men will try to wind him up with verbal taunts. Warner once revelled in his reputation as Australia’s attack dog during on-field confrontations but said he had toned down his antics as he matured. The 34-year-old expected some barbs to be thrown his way during the upcoming India tour, which begins with a one-day international in Sydney on Friday, but said he would let his bat do the talking.

    “The last time we toured in India they really engaged us like that,” he told a conference call.”We’re learning over time, especially myself, that if you look not to engage in that you’re almost reversing the effect by ignoring it, trying to take it in, and using your bat.”

    Warner said he planned to use any taunts as motivation, while refusing to retaliate in kind and maintaining a positive attitude.”You don’t know the effect (losing your temper) will have on your teammates, so you have to be a bit more humble and be more respectful to the opposition,” he said.

    Warner’s milder approach appears to coincide with his return from a ban over the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, although the batsman attributed the laid-back demeanour to fatherhood.

    “You have to be patient, not get too aggressive, not get angry when the kids aren’t listening,” he said.”So I’m getting tested on and off the field.”

    Warner also backed his out-of-form Test partner Joe Burns, who faces a stiff challenge from rising star Will Pucovski for a spot at the top of the batting order against India.”I’ve spent a lot of time with Joe Burns in the middle, I know exactly what we’re about when we’re out there,” he said.”Obviously, we won a lot of games last year. So for me, you don’t break something that’s actually working.”
