Not easy to bat in the Caribbean, says David Warner – Cricket News Update
Australia’s young opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301, has admitted that scoring big runs in the Caribbean is not very easy because of the nature of the pitches, but expressed that his first Test tour away from home has provided him an opportunity to improve his
game.
Since debuting against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in early 2009, the 25-year-old cricketer improved significantly and became a permanent member of the national side in all three formats.
In his short Test career till date, the dashing left-handed batsman has already played a couple of stunning knocks. His two hundreds so far, one against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, are considered master-classes in the cricketing ranks.
However, the left hander has struggled to perform consistently in the Caribbean but bounced back in the last Test of the series in Dominica, yesterday and scored a valiant half-century in the first innings of the match.  
After the first day’s play, Warner expressed that the ball does not come on to the bat nicely on the West Indian pitches but believes that the series has been a huge learning curve for him. The opening batsman said that the outfield is extremely slow in
Dominica and that’s why not a lot of boundaries were hit on the first day.
Warner expressed, “It's not the way I play, but they're the kind of wickets where it's all about patience. I'm still learning that, learning. This is my ninth test and my first tour out of Australia as well. In http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 it's coming on to the bat a lot easier,
they're running away for four, especially in Perth. They're the things I've got to keep in mind, particularly our running between the wickets."
The left-hander also praised the performance of the West Indian off-spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Shillingford-c2397, who picked up four wickets on day one, and said that the Aussies must play him better in the remainder of the match.
"I think he's bowling well, he's bowled well the last two Tests. We've just got to work out how to play him and how to score off him," the left handed opener added.
