David Warner 145 vs South Africa 3rd Test 2014 , Cape Town (Ball By Ball)
Transcript
00:00He up this time he bowled the short one then got it further up. So that was good
00:08He won't be hanging about david warner
00:13Michael clark would have said to him just play your game. We need the runs. You will get them quickly if you are still at the crease
00:20Foreign
00:26South africa
00:28Firing away with the verbals out there. It's it's very intense the short period this evening. They're desperate to strike more call to warner
00:38Warner back in the line and defiantly punches it back down the wicket
00:42So
00:47Four runs to david warner
00:49That's that's the thing about him
00:52Perhaps above all else if you've got a slightly bad ball, he hits you for four on the goalie waiting
01:00Now warner will get a couple behind square kyle abbott who was down at long leg had been moved a bit finer
01:06So
01:10Two more and so out of a first over that was respectable by one ball
01:16kim boners
01:18Were really good
01:23Didn't bother this fella, that's a blistering stroke off the back foot
01:31Now he goes over extra cover doesn't time it
01:36So
01:38This is so typical of david warner play finishes at six o'clock
01:53Loose because of it
01:55So
02:04Forgotten 17 for no wicket morkel
02:08Warner
02:12Well, if you've all had one he's outside australia to david warner he's going to punish you every single time
02:17He's got away brilliantly. He's on 20 of just 14 deliveries
02:21Oh
02:25That's even better
02:28Two cracking strokes from david warner
02:31What a force he's become
02:34That's as good as it gets perfectly balanced david warner
02:41I think he hit it
02:51Oh
02:54Tough for him
02:57To bat keevin captain this up
03:01What are your thoughts looking forward tom, what do you think australia are we thinking well the lead of
03:12It's an edge but it's through the gap down towards that vacant third man region again just the one slip being smith
03:21Very different
03:23So all those things will be coming into the consideration with michael clark good surface
03:28have it again
03:30Wept away on the leg side now
03:32One of the things about david warner is he loves to try and convert those ones to twos can't do so this time
03:40And if you bowl something slightly short
03:42You're going to whip away on the leg side from warner then he's going to scamper back again for the second
03:46So that's good stuff from warner
03:48Yeah
03:50Nicely played nicely whipped
03:53I'm cruising in
03:58Pushing the covers for one what was that story tom merv hughes, didn't he?
04:10Right on
04:18Two men back but uh, no one's going to get that one
04:21short ball from vernon philander
04:23Hashimama was well in front of square on the leg side and he just paddled that around for four
04:41And the rest of us knocked out by the news that
04:44Is
04:46Look at that
04:48You've got to say this guy is the pretty special ball striker by any standards
04:55Lovely footwork and then have a look at how he retains his shape
05:01He shouldn't for that tournament that hd just spoke of the world 2020 in bangladesh
05:0750 for david warner
05:10Couldn't have come in an easier or less dramatic fashion given some of the strokes that he's played five consecutive 50s
05:18Terrific performance
05:26Just been flat against the spinners
05:31Now water wants to and he'll get it come to me I think yeah
05:38It's the problem when you're 298 behind you you just haven't got enough fielders
05:47How good is that
05:50Dismissive arrogant actually after the last delivery actually dallas stain moved hashimama from in front of screens
06:01Right on
06:07This is very difficult for dale stain warner's right at the top of his game the warner
06:18That's brilliant brilliant power and confidence
06:25It almost seems cruel at stain
06:30And now wanna get lucky
06:34He wants to come back he gets back
06:38So
06:41And then we'll give warner the benefit of the doubt I think he was trying to glance that very fine he talked of
06:51This is infuriating that's leg buys this morning
07:07Hola
07:13Thinking too maybe the village is quick though. I'm
07:19It's always been spoken about as the position where you'd like your best player to go
07:27Young fellow if he's watching that slide your bat
07:29That's the
07:34Yeah, it was 576 was when south africa were
07:43Like hadley was fastest peak
07:46Didn't work out well for him
07:48Another time mikey might have been playing but kirtley ambrose take off his arm
07:59On
08:06Morning morkel brought in the play there and that's why
08:11You get somewhere nobody appeals
08:16Massive blows driving on the up straight to covers shied the stumps
08:21Yes
08:26Or 25 for me and it's test with this weather being so good
08:35Up against australia
08:42I'll tell you one thing they'll be ecstatic with the australians the fact that ryan harris
08:48Short
08:50It was around back hush among us in that region
08:52But water so quick that it come back quite comfortably for the second
08:56I'm sore
08:59Patterns and got to go as well
09:11Averaging 97
09:14Oh
09:16Again, I remember michael clark at this. He's trying to hit tape you do many that one's
09:22Very long already
09:25Still got about 36 37 minutes to go before they go to lunch
09:29Some t20s coming up
09:31And then the icc world t20 not too far away and he's made the comment that he wants to play all the t20s leading
09:39Just a slight adjustment
09:44Oh
09:46A little bit straight at that time. It's certainly worth
09:49Calling that line to warm up to see if there is any purchase from
09:54Back for australia in all situations if
09:58I suspect
10:01Bowlers need what do I need?
10:06Oh
10:14Oh
10:16Used to get a glare off that shiny pitch sabina park
10:21Field
10:24Been a remarkable career. No man has captained anything like the amount of test matches that graham smith has captained single
10:37Oh and turn out of the rough
10:40Oh
10:44Lennings
10:50Very good
10:55He's that onto the leg side one thing that warner does is run hard between the wickets now
11:03Outside the line of the off stump sends dueling back
11:10It's burst through the inner ring
11:12Just the one though. So warner's going to retain the strike who uh
11:16Milestones in style. He's got that away nice and fine and that's going to pick up a boundary
11:21So suddenly he's gone to 98 straight after the break
11:31Long off
11:33Again, he goes wide sweep on the offside. That's just going to be the single I think warner wants to come back
11:3999
11:42Oh, he missed an opportunity there
11:52What an entertainer
11:55What a magnificent performance this has been from david warner. This really has been special
11:59It's going to be an occasion that he is going to remember for a long long time. He's put on a show
12:05brilliant stuff from warner
12:07It's been sensational throughout the series and absolutely brilliant in this test match
12:13About it superbly in the first innings and just as well in the second
12:2320th time an australian has scored 100 in each innings
12:28Ponting ricky pointing did it three times bradman did it once?
12:32And now david warner joins him 101 not out
12:36The rate that he scores is exceptional. That's why australia so often are ahead of the game
12:48Beautifully struck and whipped away for four on the leg side to sign off that over
12:54Oh, oh, that's a little bit dangerous for a bit of villiers
12:59Switch it. We know he likes to play that a bit of a chase on for graham smith
13:03Yeah tags that one and they come back for three
13:10Four fielders on the boundary on the leg side for david warner now no one in the inner circle
13:21Slap that on the offside
13:25Dragged that and he smashed it
13:28Gee he had to reach for that one. What a powerful man and what a big bat
13:35It's clearly an extraordinary shot
13:43Bottom edge wants to come back for the second almost collides with dean ogre as he does
13:53Drag that on the belts
13:55Oh
14:04Not quite where he wanted that to go
14:08Always hit that as he has it got enough of it. Yes
14:13Full toss dispatched for six he's not gonna miss out on that one
14:17Two
14:23Catches the call it's not going to carry
14:32Scythed away and it's gone for four
14:41Okay polly you've got the ball in hand where you're bowling
14:47Oh, what a shot that's an awesome shot
14:52He's been in fine form and that shot tells you exactly that david warner gets him four more
15:03A little slow ball there, but it wasn't short
15:07Gotta hurry
15:13There's a slow ball bumper
15:17Oh
15:26Responsible for trying to carry out what that team direction is
15:39One
15:47Something like that
15:53He's back do the talking with this innings at least up until now
16:00Good fielding. Oh now we got a mistake and warner gets to retain the strike which was his aim in the first place
16:10But he did well
16:13Oh
16:15Finally david warner goes
16:19An edge through to ab davilliers
16:22undemonstrative response from kyle abbot and davilliers
16:26It's hard first to be sure that he did it. But anyway
16:29I'm sure that those in the stadium will stand at this remarkable innings
16:35As he throws caution to the wind
16:37In search of his side's declaration, it's an unselfish end to an unselfish and utterly brilliant innings by david warner
