Cricket News-in-Brief - December 8, 2011 – Part 3
Australia’s legendary spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 is an ideal batsman for Test cricket.
Warne thinks Warner has the potential to score a century against New Zealand in the second Test of the two match series at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, starting from Friday, December 9, 2011.
According to Warne, Warner has the ability to score runs consistently in the longest version of the game and should be given some opportunities against top sides at the highest level.
The flamboyant left-handed batsman is considered to be a limited-over specialist, but was given an opportunity to impress the selectors during the two match Test series against the Black Caps.
However, Warner was unable to make an impression in the first game of the series and scored three and an unbeaten 12 in his respective outings.
He will get another opportunity to score some runs in the second Test, which will eventually determine his fate in the longest format of the game.

There is a grass cover over the Hobart pitch, which suggests that the bowlers might get some assistance on day one of the match.
Other than that, the weather is also expected to be overcast tomorrow, which will help the bowlers move the ball around.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 expects the wicket to ease out for batting with the passage of time, but said that the first day could prove to be difficult for the batting team.
However, the stylish right-handed batsman said that he will only take the final decision once the match starts tomorrow.
