David Warner only managed scores of 5 & 13 in Sydney and the gamble to play him didn’t really work. However, Australia are in the driver’s seat to win the third Test. The opener talked about how playing an actual match is completely different to doing fitness tests in training. Speaking to SEN, the 34-year-old said:
Warner suffered the injury in the second ODI against India and missed the first two Tests. The left-handed batsman was seen in clear discomfort when he came out to bat in both the innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
David Warner praises Will Pucovski
David Warner might have have flopped in the Sydney Test, but his new opening partner, Will Pucovski made an impact. Making his debut, the 22-year-old looked assured as he scored a well made 62 in the first innings. Warner was all praise for the debutant and said:
It is clear that David Warner was rushed into the Australian playing XI, especially after the Melbourne defeat. There is only a three-day break between the third and the fourth Test. As a result, Warner will have limited time on his hand to do his rehab and be completely fit for the final match of the series. It remains to be seen if he features in the final Test.
