Ex-Australia cricketer Ian Healy reckons that David Warner struggled at Headingley but he wants the veteran batter to open alongside Usman Kahwaja for the fourth Ashes Test to be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 19.
Ian Healy said on SENQ Breakfast –
“What he put out at Headingley wasn’t good enough, his technique recently had been much better, head over the ball, but it all disappeared at Headingley.
Ian added – “He was jumping around, he was unstable at the crease and he was distracted by the crowd. It wasn’t good enough and we need better because he’s putting Marnus (Labuschagne) and Steve Smith under way too much pressure.
“Marnus has been like an opener, and he spends a lot of energy getting to 20 and 30, then he’s getting himself out too.”
Ian Healy further said –
“I don’t want to throw a newbie, whether it be Marcus or ‘Renners’, into that team in that Ashes furnace, David Warner is in with the team that has got to get this Ashes done.”
