Australia skipper Tim Paine’s surprising decision to declare their first innings early against Pakistan in the second Test here on Saturday has not gone down well with cricket fans. David Warner was unbeaten on 335 when Paine declared the innings at 589/3 and netizens felt the Aussie opener could have broken former West Indies batsman Brian Lara’s record of unbeaten 400 in a Test against England in Antigua.
A user wrote: “Tim Paine mate I really couldn’t find a reasonable logic for you depriving fellow mate David David Warner getting 400, it is just 127 overs, 3 and half days to go, Australia already leads the series. If PAK gets 350, u would have to bat again, mate what would Australia miss without you.”
