It has always amused me that Warner came up with a plan to rough up the ball using sandpaper, a substance men have used for hundreds of years to make things smooth. More pertinently, given the twin preoccupations of Cricket et al (the et al being largely Australian 80s music), where is the analysis showing how David Warner’s career is best understood by reference to the songs of Dave Warner (from the suburbs). Is he just a suburban boy? Is it a mug’s game? Inquiring minds need to know.

About time. He may not be everyone’s favourite, but certainly did not deserve a lifetime ban.

If he did, then so too did the board of directors for the appalling way they managed the entire SA tour and scapegoated Warner, Smith and Bancroft.
