I think David warner ready to play champion trophy 2025 in ODI tournament in Pakistan if Australian cricket board select him. The decisin of retirement from test cricket is good beacuse now they will focus on T20 and leagues cricket short format. David Warner is very dangerous against Pakistan in ODI ans Test cricket. In last test match against Pakistan David Warner scored amazing fifty scores 57 runa in 75 balls out by Sajid khan and played an important role in victory of Australian against Pakistan.

David Warner is lucky enough in recent test, he was dropped so many times by Pakistani fielders. Warner is dangerous not only in front of Pakistani bowlers but he has the ability to destroy any bowling lineup. Warner has played 112 test matches with 44.5 runs average, there are not many players in test history who have such incredible test stats.

Not sure about Rahane but i believe Pujara's services are much needed in Australia. He's kryptonite to Aussies on their home turf.

I am not sure whether Cheteshwar Pujara will ever get selected to the Indian test team again. By the time of the next test series for India, he will be 36 years old and he last played for India 8 months back. Currently he is playing for Saurashtra in Indian domestic cricket, and today he scored an unbeaten 243 versus Jharkhand. And this was against a bowling attack that comprised of experienced players such as Shahbaz Nadeem and Anukul Roy. Ajinkya Rahane is also playing first class cricket for Mumbai, but he is in very poor form for the last few months.

Most likely true but his age shouldn't be a talking point, considering Rohit is also touching the same line.

IMO, you can keep Pujara aside in other tours but he excels in the Aussie conditions because of his grit and willingness to take as much as body blow. You need at least 1 guy with this mindset in your team and if I recollect my memories of last decade then only Pujara fits the bill. Elgar comes second best but they didn't tour as much as India.

I would've liked if the likes of Pujara and Rahane offered their services to weaker state boards and scored against big teams in the domestic.

Not sure about Rahane but i believe Pujara's services are much needed in Australia. He's kryptonite to Aussies on their home turf.

Yeah, he is. But so far how Pujara reacted for not selecting in SA series it clearly means something is going on behind the scenes and they will just blame his last two-year poor performance as a reason to not select him. It's not particularly about Pujara alone but forming a whole set of batting unit for the test matches and India is capable of doing that than any other team but still they want to go with IPL stars with all kind of format in the international arena.

True and SKY is the main example.

Having said that, i don't mind IPL stars featuring in Test cricket, given they have a good record in the Ranji. Sometimes talents get overlooked in domestic cricket and IPL fixes this problem as far as the limelight and fame go so it has its pros and cons.

Warner has retired from Test and ODI but will continue to play T20 cricket, as per my knowledge. He is no doubt one of the greatest opening batsmen produced in the history that can play test, ODI and T20 format. He play test as genuine test player while in T20I he is a solid hitter like a young player. Aussies have a good domestic setup and they will produce some other great opener to replace Warner.

Yes, I agree with you about the above-mentioned text for David Warner's cricket career, and his retirement from Test and ODI formats while noting that he will continue playing T20 cricket. The statement also praises Warner as one of the greatest opening batsmen in cricket history, highlighting his ability to excel in all three formats. The mention of Warner's playing style in T20Is and the confidence in Australia's domestic setup to produce another great opener suggests a positive outlook on the future of Australian cricket despite Warner's retirement from certain formats. If you have a specific question or if there's a particular aspect you'd like more information on, feel free to let me know!

The ground on which the second Test match between India vs South Africa was played ended in less than two days, earning a demerit point by the ICC. The match ended two days early and both teams bowled a total of 600+ balls due to which the second Test ground earned this demerit from the ICC. Earlier we also saw that against New Zealand, Bangladesh earned a team score point from the ICC for producing such poor wickets. Basically ICC gives such demerit points if the wicket is of extra poor quality.

Makes sense! Personally, I enjoyed the test since wickets were falling like dominoes everywhere and it turned into an ODI before we knew it. The ICC should start giving demerit points to themselves too for some of their shitty, archaic rules.

They need to give demerit points to umpires too since their decisions are turning out to be wrong way too often in recent times.

Not surprised about the demerit points, to be honest. I saw that coming when the first day was played on that ground. No test match should end that early. That was a total bowler’s heaven. Although I enjoy these kinds of bowler dominant test matches, I think this match was over too quickly. But hats off to Markram for the way he batted in the 2nd innings and got that century.

Rohit is the captain of the Indian national team across all the formats, so age is irrelevant as far as he is concerned. Probably the selectors don't want a test squad where half of the guys are above 35. Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin all fall in this category. But I agree with you on his performance in Australia. He has performed exceptionally well in past tours. Not so sure about Rahane though. I haven't heard about him in a while. He played a few matches for Mumbai in Vijay Hazare Trophy, but couldn't make a lot of runs.

Right, David Warner is one of the best player of Australia. Australia recently announced their test squad for West Indies tour and they include Matthew Renshaw in test squad after retirement of David Warner. Steve Smith remain the captain of Australia team in ODI format for west Indies tour that was starting from 17th January. In this series 2 test match is played and 3 Odi match played between Australia and west Indies. Australia is favourite to win the test series beacuse they have best bastmen and bowling unit and recently they whitewash Pakistan by 3-0.

Steve Smith is new opener for Australia tour of WI. Warner retirement will surely bring a huge gap but Aussies have strong structure and they have replacement of every player. As far as Australia tour of WI is concerned, there is rear chance of WI win in any format. Might be due to home advantage WI can show some resistance but there is scarcity of competent players in WI squad.

WI is a more pathetic team than Srilanka, they failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup. They are not that good in test cricket and are ranked below Srilanka in test ranking. They do not have batters with mentally strong enough to play long innings and they lack specialist bowlers for long formats. There was a time when they dominated both test and ODI and that time has long passed. Australia is the best team in the world in test cricket and the possibility of a whitewash cannot be denied in the upcoming series.

Not only South Africa but many other countries have produced such poor wickets to take home advantage and bowlers have dominated the results and all the wickets. Although the home team gets some advantage on such wickets, it is very difficult for the visiting team to bat on these wickets. South Africa built wickets like this to win the two Tests against India, but the wicket they built worked against them. India cruised to an easy win against South Africa only to produce a low-quality wicket in the middle which earned South Africa demerit points. ICC should be more strict on making such wickets so that no team makes such bad wickets.

We still have plenty of time for the BGT so anything could happen. Pant could also make his comeback, fingers crossed.

Skipper is not interested in this idea. If the reports are true then Green is another potential candidate and his name is popping up for the opening.

You are right David Warner is definitely one of the best players in Australia David Warner performs brilliantly in every match. We saw David Warner perform brilliantly in the three Test series against Pakistan. Pakistan's batsmen helplessly batting disaster against Australia. If Pakistan doesn't focus on their batting then they might not be able to perform so well in the future. Pakistan team bowling is very good but batting is not so good compared to their bowling so they need to focus on batting. Pakistan played three Test matches In the three Test matches against Australia we saw Pakistan's batting disaster.

Its very interesting that Steve Smith open the inning with Usman khawaja in test match against west Indies. Steve smith is very good player but i don't think Steve Smith is best openers like David Warner for Australia. But Australia has great structure to find talented player in their team that why they won the most world cup. West Indies have no chance to beat Australia in test match. I'm sure Australia will also win this series but also whitewash west Indies. If west Indies perform well show some good bowling performance then they have chance to win any match against Australia.

This series will help Aussies in improving there test stats. There will be lots of cricket in Australia for WI, they will play 2 test, 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is. In test its almost impossible to beat Aussies at there home. They have an excellent test record at home. I don't think WI team is capable of facing mighty Australians at there home. WI only have a chance in T20I series.

West Indies will not be able to make a good advantage against Australia in two Test matches and three ODIs. That's because Australia has already played a great Test match against Pakistan, Australia batsmen have performed brilliantly, so West Indies can't beat Australia, there's no chance of losing the ODI match either. Because Australia team is in great form since winning the World Cup, their batsmen are batting brilliantly and bowling well. Because of this, it will never be possible for West Indies to beat Australia in Tests and ODIs. But if West Indies play well in T20 matches then maybe they can win a T20 match against Australia. Now let's see how well West Indies can perform against Australia.

There is tour match going on between WI and CAXI. The domestic teams of Australia are as good as there test team and so far WI has done a good job. WI scored 251/8 in first innings before declaring it. In reply CAXI were bowled out for 175 runs. This performance just gave a hint that WI might perform good in upcoming test against Australia.

An warm up is being held between Cricket Australia XI and West Indies. Batting first, West Indies scored 251 runs to declare their innings in this warm-up cricket match. Later when Cricket Australia came to bat, they were all out for 174 runs in 54.4 overs. Now again West Indies are batting in their second innings and they have collected 56 runs for the loss of two wickets in 12 overs.Based on the performance of this warm up match it is understood that the West Indies team is going to present a good series against the Australian team. Looking at the list of West Indies cricket team players for this match, it seems that most of their players are new.

You are right that cricket is a game of uncertainty, the team that performs well on the field will win. But if we look at the test matches between Australia and Pakistan, we will definitely understand how powerfully Australia has won almost every match. From that side it is expected that Oostende will win the Test match in Australia but still it cannot be said that if West Indies can perform well then West Indies can win. Best wishes to both teams. If West Indies play well in T20 then maybe we will see competitive T20 series against Australia. But I will put Australia ahead in Test match. West Indies may have performed well before. Current Australia team is performing well. From that point of view, the Test series against West Indies is expected to be Australia .
