Warner “dropped” before being “selected”

Dave Warner has been left out of the NSWales squad to challenge Queensland in Thursday’s 4 day match. I can’t find the actual squad posted anywhere, but I heard it on the radio so it must be true.

With Greg Mail top scoring in both innings with 101 and 49 in the game we won’t be mentioning, he’ll have to retain his position. So the selectors are left with a straight choice for the second opener – prolific run scorer and recently fit Phil Jaques, or Twenty 20 dominatrix machine and the most likely man to get out to a baseball slog David Warner.

Sorry Dave, but as much as I’d love to see you tonking Noffke back over his head for 6, this is a must win outright game for the Blues and hardly the time to be blooding new openers… but if the story is true then they could have at least picked him in their second XI squad! At least Warner’s useful in the field and will make a top notch 12th man, he’s got International experience after all.
