Australia vs South Africa: Veteran Australian left-hand batter David Warner announced his revival after a lean phase with the bat in Tests. Warner scored a double hundred against South Africa in the second Test of the three-match series. Warner’s 200 came during his 100th Test match and he became only the second cricketer to do after England’s Joe Root.
“I was going through that (his best knocks) the other day with a couple of the journos and that definitely is up there now. To go out there, a lot of pressure, I don’t generally feel the pressure, I don’t get nervous,” Warner told Channel Seven.
“But walking out here and telling my friends, ‘I’m going out to play the way I want to, looking to score and have intent’, and to deliver that in a Boxing Day Test which is the pinnacle as a kid to go out and execute that emphatically was awesome,” he added.
Warner had not scored a Test century since January 2020 and in the ongoing home summer, he had recorded scores of 5, 48, 21, 28, 0 and 3 from six innings against West Indies and South Africa till the MCG Test came.
Warner’s knock came at a very crucial time as Australia are almost qualified for the World Test Championship finals. Australia lead the three-match Test series 1-0 and post this they will have only four more games left which will be played in India next year.
