* Strike Rate(SR) is irrelevant in tests.

* Anyway, Samuels had an excellent series and Brathwaite had one excellent innings---his 106.

Warner caned India yesterday with 101 at a strike rate of 88.59.

GREAT BATTING BY WARNER

Talk bout destruction:

Quote:[size=1.35em]In the first hour, it was as Australia already switched to one-day mode, the openers rattling along at more than five an over. New India captain Virat Kohli shuffled his fielders and yanked his bowlers in and out of the attack, but it had the feel of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.[/size]

* David Warner reminds me of Virender Sehwag----both aggressive and exciting opening batsmen.

* Sehwag's strike rate in 104 tests was an amazing 82.21

* Warner's current strike rate is 74.41

* Sehwag ended his test career averaging less than 50

* Right now Warner's test average is below 50
