David Warner agrees he and Cowan make an 'odd couple' - Cricket News Update
The hard hitting Australian opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 Cowan make an “odd couple”, saying that his aggression and Cowan’s caution at the top of the order was helping the side a lot.
Warner, the 25-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 batsman, exhibits an aggressive approach with the bat, while 29-year-old Ed Cowan has proven in the past six innings that he is very particular with the details. However, Warner said that despite having different
approaches to the game, they both are gelling well together and hoped to go a long way with the rookie batsman, who debuted in the international cricket at the start of the ongoing series.
"We're gelling together," said Warner speaking to the media after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 won the third Test at Perth with an innings and 37 runs. "As people have said, we're an odd couple, but when we're out there we keep each other going… Hopefully we can keep
continuing this and hopefully it's one of many big partnerships," he added further.
The duo put Australia on its way to an innings and 37-run win in the third Test at Perth with a 214-run opening stand. Warner, who was playing his fifth Test match, scored his career best, 180, while Ed Cowan made the second half century of his Test
career, which started at Melbourne last month.
The hard-hitting top order batsman said that they both understand each other's game well. He added that they both discuss their plans after every ball or over to help each other stay in the game to the fullest.
Warner, who is famous for his belligerent game in the T20 format, said his ultimate goal is to be consistent in all the three formats.
"I've always said I'd like to be more consistent in all three forms that I'm playing," he said.
"Runs today, and you might miss out the next game, but that's cricket. Hopefully it wasn't a one-off thing. I showed I could play maturely as well in difficult situations. Hopefully I can continue my form," he added further.
Australia holds an invincible 3-0 lead in the series with the fourth and final Test starting at Adelaide Oval on January 24, 2012.
