ANALYSIS: David Warner's triple ton answers the critics — even if their hits keep coming

In eight years Warner batted through a full Test day once. This season he has done it twice in a week, and backed up the second of those with another four hours the following day.

"I think sometimes I get carried away with talking about where I'm looking to score instead of what the bowler's actually doing and how he's trying to get me out. So I think that will stay in the back of my mind going forward." Around these sprints he punishes errors in width, expertly threads boundaries through cover and point, and takes on the short ball when it doesn't get up. He plays a very consistent game in all formats, only shifting speed and urgency. His Twenty20s and Tests for Australia this summer have so far produced a mass of 776 runs across eight hits for two dismissals.

Great innings no doubt! IMO if he’d pulled up at 334 it would have shown significant maturity. Jury’s still out. He’s a big head glory hunter.

A triple ton is an admirable feat no matter the opposition, but he hasn't answered his critics. He'll answer them if he plays well overseas, and is able for a few years not to act like a douche.
