Wonder if Warner will be warmly welcomed by the crowd with his favourite alliterative song

" Warner is a W....." la la lah

Repeat ad Infinitum

Ya beauty!!!! Bye, bye Warner.

[slogen51]

Awesome , Warner can go back to sand papering his bat

If only he'd used a review, oh dear what a shame.

Another one from the BBC website, hopefully won't be long before we get a replay of it from Smith
