Warner looks like a batsman who would rather be

watching from the pavillion than face Jofra. I have never seen an Aussie opening batsman who comes to the wicket looking so fearful.

I can recall him, in the 1st test, hurrying to leave,out LBW, without bothering to ask for a review which had he done so, he would have been shown to be clearly not out.

Jofra didn't play in the first test, so who was he fearful of in that match.

People just chat just to chat. Jofra didn't trouble Warner as much as Broad did.

Warner seems a different player since his return to cricket from the Newlands fiasco.

His all round game has suffered. His scoring is remarkably slower. Shot selection circumspect. And his fielding is in tatters. I believe that he is still haunted by the ball tampering incident. And his non-performance is affecting the Aussies ability to set up a formidable opening stand.

That's how Gabriel looks in ODIs. He does not want to play ODI and nobody can see that.
