“The satisfying thing is I am getting a start… but the frustrating part is that with those starts you should be making 50s at least and 100s ideally”.
“It did look like they did go through the motions when we were batting on that (first) day, when we batted big”, Warner said.
“As I said previously to the first Test, it is all going to come down to that first session and how we or they started”.
Their breathtaking seventy five-run partnership in the opening eleven overs of the collection-opener towards West Indies in Hobart set the tone for a trouncing of the vacationers in three days. “We keep doing that every day”, he said.
Most cricket fans have thoughts on whether or not Usman Khawaja should be immediately recalled to the Test team after a hamstring injury.
“But it’s a new game, it’s Boxing Day and we’re all fired up and ready to go and that is what it is all about”.
Australia’s next Test assignment after clashes at the MCG and SCG is a two-match tour of New Zealand in February.
West Indies are now trailing 0-1 in the series following their humiliating defeat by an innings and 212 runs against Australia.
Six members of Australia’s Test squad Adam Voges, Shaun and Mitchell Marsh, Usman Khawaja, Joe Burns and Nathan Lyon featured in the BBL while Nathan Coulter-Nile, who was expected to make his Test debut in Melbourne, is now likely to miss the Test after suffering a shoulder injury while fielding in the T20 league.
“When you re not scoring runs it s always hard to pick yourself up”, Bravo said. “But I believe the guys have that sort of resilience in them”.

“No contact, everyone’s been busy with the Big Bash and their different franchises”, Burns told reporters.
Khawaja was handed his third chance to establish himself in test cricket after a raft of retirements over the last 12 months left Australia low on experienced top order batsmen. Domestic players in Australia, such as Jordan Silk, are far more prepared to play in front of bigger crowds, and a lot of that is because of the Big Bash.
