Cricinfo has thrown up a good stat - before this Ashes, Warner averaged 64 against Broad. This series: 6.4

is that 6,4 figure the number of bowls he has faced from Broad this series?

Ill say it again, dropping Khawja before Warner was a mistake.

IMO Warner is more likely to score a few runs, and a player England are definitely wary of. Khwaja on the other hand never looks convincing.

Warner has not stayed out there long enough to look good.

The only time he made runs he played and missed nearly as often as Denly.

I think Roy and Warner have a contest to see who can face the least amount of balls during this series.....Over to you Roy

They're out there and Labu has a fifty. Not his first in this series.

Really needs to go on a get a big score. This series has been very good for him though. Much needed for Australia as well.

Smith's 8th consecutive ashes 50, seemingly

to go with ML's 4th

Can the two man batting line up beat the one man batting line up and retain the ashes?
