On Thursday, the star Australian opener, David Warner, had a superb start in the three-match Test series against Pakistan. The southpaw hushed all doubters about his form in Test cricket on the opening day of the first Test against Pakistan, slamming a typically explosive 164 runs off 211 balls in a spectacular start to his farewell series. During his knock, Warner also got involved in a verbal exchange with Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi, and he later gave a detailed account of what actually happened.
Warner said, “It’s been a long few months for Shaheen [Afridi] as well; he’s bowled a lot in the World Cup. You’ve got to try to apply pressure to their senior bowler in the first Test match. The chitchat is just normal stuff; there’s nothing. He’s not trying to get under my skin or anything; it’s just normal banter.”
Talking about the game, Australian spin king Nathan Lyon moved within three wickets of joining the elite 500 club on Friday as Pakistan dug deep to stay in touch on day two of the opening Test in Perth.
