  Agreed. Obviously it'll be nice to walk it, but I'd rather a proper contest. 2005-style.

  Sounds like it'd have been a good one!
  
  I see the sledging's started early this year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/22867634
  
  Do you think this'll be the end of Warner's summer? I know he's not been amazing lately but they'll still miss him.

  Apparently it was a Walkabout bar where it all kicked off. Couldn't make it up, could you?

  David Warner's a very naughty boy!
  
  Quotes from his grovelling apology, sorry, press conference...
  
  "I'm hear today to apologise publicly and put my hand up and say I am responsible for my actions. I am extremely remorseful. I have let my teammates down, the support staff, myself and my family.
  
  "I have accepted the punishment. It is up to me to do everything I can to help out the team to progress in the Champions Trophy and move on to have a great preparation for the Ashes.
  
  "I won't deny I'd had a couple of drinks. I have exchanged text messages with Joe [Root]. He accepted my apology which I am thoroughly grateful for.
  
  "It is up to me to be accountable for my actions. I can't put myself in that position ever again. I have to do everything I can to get picked for the first Ashes Test.
  
  "We're not here to speculate about what happened beforehand. I'm here to apologise and I'm extremely remorseful for what I have done. I definitely remember the night, It started out with a few drinks in the bar and as a team we went to the Walkabout. I made a mistake and I put my hand up."
  
  Looks like he's gotten away with it then...

  Can't imagine you'll be able to resist coming on here and bragging about it Briss.

  Well at least Warner caused a bit of a fuss, which is probably more than the team will do through the series lol. Based on the Aussies ODI performance they have to up their game a hell of a lot to avoid a massive whitewash. They may get a drawn match or two if the weather helps out :-)
  With dubious batting line-ups especially if Warner misbehaves again and finds himself sent home!! and lack of decent bowlers especially spinners, the Aussies will be hoping for a wet English summer methinks...
  I suppose we'll have to gage the Aussie performance by the rate at which Trott score his runs !!! 100 & over = dismal, 75 - 100 = meh, 50 - 75 = normal and 0 - 50 = outstanding lol...
