Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
Regardless of his obvious conditioning issues, Rakeem Cornwall has an outstanding domestic record as a genuine allrounder. Can the Windies really afford to be that picky with selections these days? I've seen him in some CPL games and he's a pretty dynamic hitter and difficult to get away with the ball. He definitely ran out of puff in one innings I saw though which negated the momentum he'd built up.

Reading the cricinfo description of the wickets in the Pak vs Aus T20, and it says that Maxwell jumped outside leg for no reason and got bowled.

Did anyone see it, and was it as funny to watch as the famous one he did in teh Big Bash?

Haha that is just ridiculous. Its really arrogant and shows he is really learning nothing. The umpires shouldnt have let him back. Obviously both Western Sydney and the umpires probably felt if they told the guy to gently caress off they would have been criticised.

David Warner wouldn’t be emotionally equipped to be called a disgrace by Phil Hughes’s brother. Him walking off the ground to compose himself rather than starting a fight is probably a good result there.

What are the odds that the sledging was Sandpaper related?

Also, I would love to see him try this in an International game, and see how much sympathy he gets from the umpires/opposition/crowd.

Edit: In stupid media news. A West Australian newspaper declares Shaun Marsh to have solidified his place in the test team due to a couple of 50s in a Shield game. Also at the bottom of the article, it suggests that Matthew Wade could make it back into teh Test side as a specialist batsman on the basis of him also scoring a couple of 50s in the past few Shield games.

Apparently the sledge was, you're a disgrace you shouldn't even be playing cricket, which is kinda fair enough. But his wife went on the telly and tried to make out that it was abusive and beyond the pale.

Skin so thin, it's practically translucent.

It's typical of the Australian teams Warner was a part of, where they'd be happy to yell insults into the faces of the opposition for 8 hours straight, but as soon as they're told to gently caress off, they immediately start screaming and crying about how they've taken it too far and how it violates the spirit of cricket. Not surprised to see he's carrying that poo poo on in domestic cricket, and I hope everyone calls him out for his hypocritical bullshit.

I hope every visiting team reminds Warner of his cheating, even when he's retired from the game.
