Australia vs Pakistan 2016/17: 3rd Test - 5 talking points

#4 There is no stopping David Warner

David Warner set the stage ablaze with his willow

David Warner has carried on the momentum from 2016 into 2017 and how! The left-handed opener was in bullish touch in the first innings, smashing a 78 ball 100. He wasn't done though and in the second innings made the second fastest fifty in Test history.

Warner was ruthless against Yasir Shah, smashing him all over the park. The veteran was carted all around Sydney by Warner. The fourth over of the second innings saw Warner hit two consecutive sixes followed by two more fours against Shah.

Warner was critical in Australia barging their way to a declaration in the second innings. A run rate in excess of 7.5 in the second innings was primarily due to the 23 ball half-century by David Warner.
