Come on Aussie


What does it take to become an Australian Hero? Irwin, Bradman, Brock; they all were iconic for slightly different reasons but all demonstrated greatness. David Warner is on the front of the Herald & the Australian today for hitting 89 off 43 balls on Sunday in the twenty-twenty international against South Africa. He is being proclaimed one of the greats, indeed he may well be (it was a remarkable innings, he hasn’t played for his state yet), but dead set, how fickle are we? Duminy hit 78 off 48 balls, which is pretty good as well; Duminy had a great summer as well, but a few sixes and we have the best thing since sliced bread.

This isn’t a Warner bashing, I loved watching him play, but dead set it’s a little over the top (& where is the praise of Tate??? He was amazing).
