LIVE: Epic Warne tribute as freak moment strikes amid 'unbelievable' Boland magic.

The guys are out there doing their best behind the scenes and I’m confident that they are going to get it right.” High-strike rate, took risks and his average fell in the last few years of his career just as Warner’s has done. Is he in the right frame of mind too? Warner’s an attacker and if South Africa can get him defending, there could be a chance of getting him out. Asked if he went back and forth over the decision, Cummins said: “A little bit. He couldn’t do it in Brisbane on a sporting pitch. “We’ve got to keep the belief and the players do have the belief,” he said. “We haven’t played to our potential in the last couple of Tests and we are also determined to get it right. It’s a fascinating battle between those two. “Can he survive that early onslaught from Kagiso Rabada? “His kryptonite is Kagiso Rabada at the moment and that’s his biggest challenge today,” O’Keeffe said to Fox Cricket on the ‘Test Cricket Daily’ ahead of Monday’s action. Warner will be looking to silence his critics and according to Kerry O’Keeffe, the “biggest challenge” to doing just that comes in the form of South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada.

Leading the three-match series one-nil, Australia reached 45-1 at stumps before a crowd of 64876.

Australia’s trophy for men’s test player of the year will be renamed the Shane Warne Men’s Test Player of the Year, Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers’ Association announced on Monday. Warne reached the milestone of 700 wickets on his home ground in Melbourne in December 2006. Apart from cheering Green off the field, fans also paid tribute Monday to Test cricket’s second-leading wicket-taker Shane Warne, who died aged 52 in March 2022. Starc briefly left the field for treatment on a sore middle finger. Green struck twice in his next over, removing Jansen caught behind for 59 and Rabada bowled for four. Mitchell Starc removed Temba Bavuma caught behind for one off the next delivery to leave the tourists teetering at lunch.

Striking again in his third successive over, Green forced his way through Lungi Ngidi's defences to end the innings in the 69th over. Apart from cheering Green off the field, fans also paid tribute Monday to test cricket's second-leading wicket-taker Shane Warne, who died aged 52 in March 2022. Captain Dean Elgar (26) attempted a risky single to mid-off in the penultimate over before the interval and was run out by a direct hit from Marnus Labuschagne. Starc briefly left the field for treatment on a sore middle finger. On a green-tinged pitch, South Africa's batsmen had edged cautiously to 58 shortly before lunch for the loss of Sarel Erwee (18) and Theunis de Bruyn (12).

Over-by-over report: The Boxing Day Test continues at the MCG. Join our writers for updates from Melbourne.

63rd over: Australia 231-2 (Warner 135, Smith 60) Jansen’s brief burst in the crazy heat is ended by the recall of Ngidi. 59th over: Australia 221-2 (Warner 131, Smith 54) Jansen is running in and hitting the bat hard but there’s not much doing out there any more with an old ball on a flat track under a hot sun. 62nd over: Australia 228-2 (Warner 134, Smith 58) Maharaj is rattling through his work like a kid stuffing pennies into one of those end-of-the-pier machines that they turned into the TV gameshow Tipping Point. 67th over: Australia 253-2 (Warner 144, Smith 73) Ngidi begins the 67th over with a delivery so short and wide Warner does well to reach it, let alone guide it through gully for four. 65th over: Australia 243-2 (Warner 138, Smith 69) Is Dean Elgar taking the p155? 72nd over: Australia 295-2 (Warner 174, Smith 84) An exhausted-looking Warner has entered T20 mode, battling fatigue by battering Maharaj for six over cow corner. “I’m not up to the statsguru challenge (and I think that might be quite a long list),” he emails, “but I note that at Headingley 2019 Marnus topped England’s first innings score twice and still ended up on the losing side. 76th over: Australia 319-3 (Warner 195, Head 2) Maharaj continues into the 23rd over of his spell, only now venturing around the wicket to the left-handed Warner. 75th over: Australia 316-3 (Warner 193, Head 1) Nortje deserves a better top-six, and a captain who trusts him with the new ball and important spells. 73rd over: Australia 298-2 (Warner 177, Smith 84) Nortje is thrown the ball for the first time since tea – bafflingly, he’s sent down only nine overs today before this spell – and he immediately hurries up Warner, jagging one into his midriff then beating an attempted pull for pace. 77th over: Australia 329-3 (Warner 200, Head 7) Of course, after that wicket-taking over Nortje is whipped out of the attack. Warner drops to his knees, removes his helmet, and pumps his bat to the sky while a primal scream pours from the depths of his lungs.

The dashing left-hander also equalled Sachin Tendulkar (45) for most tons as opener across formats. Warner’s 25 Test tons places him in the fifth spot among all openers in Test cricket. Former Aussie captain Ricky Ponting is the only batter to score two centuries in his 100th Test.

After nearly three years, Australian superstar David Warner ended his century drought on Tuesday (December 27) and etched his name in record books.

Warner had cited the instance of his last international century that came against England in November, stating that people were writing him off then, but he came back and hit a ton. It was just his second international century in all formats since January 2020. Warner joined an elite league to achieve the unique milestone, becoming just the second Australian to do so after Ricky Ponting, who is the only player to score twin hundreds in his 100th Test.

David’s back has been against the wall and everyone has been saying he’s too old or he should retire, but first of all, to hit 8000 Test runs is a huge milestone and then to get a Test century — hopefully now people will sort of back off him a little bit,” said Candice. Candice also said Warner has put everything else behind him and was raring to do. Candice, as quoted by The West Australian, said that she was incredibly proud and also said there is a sense of relief after the opener's hundred. David Warner's wife, Candice, is hoping that the critics of the Australian opener will back off from him after he slammed a hundred against South Africa on Tuesday.

Marco Janssen and Kyle Verreynne scored a half-century each for the South African cause at Melbourne as Cameroon Green came up big with the ball.

It'll be interesting to see whether Warner returns to the crease if there's a wicket that falls tomorrow morning. These two blows of course follow the injury to Mitchell Starc's finger on the opening day. David Warner needed to be helped off the ground after retiring hurt for 200, before Cam Green was forced off shorly afterwards after copping a blow to his right hand.

Ending a century drought, Australian opener David Warner scored a double ton on Day 2 of the 2nd Test against South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground ...

During his marathon innings, Warner also entered the 8000-run Test club. However, immediately after reaching his double hundred, Warner was forced off the pitch due to an injury. His last Test century came almost three years ago when playing against New Zealand in Sydney.

Australia dominated the opening day's play at the MCG thanks in large part to the stunning bowling of Cameron Green.

“For him to come out and try and bowl with it, it’s a huge blow. After diving to stop a ball on the boundary, the ball slammed into Starc’s middle finger on his left hand and replays showed the tip of his finger not in a position it should have been. Mitchell Starc was given the all clear to bowl again during the second Test after suffering a nasty injury during the opening day, but serious concerns remain that he will bowl in the second innings.

A 239-run partnership between David Warner and Steve Smith, followed by Travis Head's 48 helped Australia to a lead of 197 at Stumps on Day 2.

Warner and Steve Smith put on a 239-run stand for the third wicket before Smith was caught in the gully for 85 off the bowling of paceman Anrich Nortje. With pace spearhead Mitchell Starc struggling with a sore middle finger on his bowling hand, Green’s injury could leave Australia short-handed in attack. Short of runs and without a century in nearly three years, a tiring Warner slogged his way to his third double-hundred from 254 balls before succumbing to cramps and limping off the Melbourne Cricket Ground field with the aid of a trainer.
