If he consistently opens the innings with scores of 60 odd off 40 balls then that'll do for me.

That's of course the big question isn't it and only history will tell. Warner pulled it off, but he looked tighter than Hale at the beginning of his career. Hale wouldn't have stood a chance though without the present day bats.

That pocket clip fools many a fielding side for some reason, seen a few reviews before where that's happened.

Warner likes hitting things when he's tight!

Don't you think though that the players and commentators are becoming less and less skilled at calling them correctly?

England are cruising and finally batting sensibly, maybe they really have got this right.

I'm going to need a couple of years though.

With a hundred off the first ten it must be sensible to cruise at a run a ball for at least the next 15/20 overs.

Yep, these two need to stay there and keep the remaining run rate below 7. No probs!

These are two real batsmen groomed through the classic "Gower School for Young batsmen" so I would normally expect this.

It has been amazing to watch England bat this series and think back to the World Cup.
