Australia miss David Warner's attacking approach at the top: Ravi Shastri

India Today  

Former India cricketer and head coach Ravi Shastri feels Australia are missing the attacking approach of David Warner in the ongoing Test series against Australia. However, none of them were able to replicate Warner’s magic as Australia were forced to show faith in another youngster, Sam Konstas, ahead of the fourth Test against India in Melbourne. Sharing his thoughts on Konstas’ inclusion in the Australian squad, Shastri said that the poor form of the Australian top order forced the team management to make changes as they needed someone to play attacking cricket like Warner. They need someone who will take to the attack and that’s where Australia miss David Warner in a big way.
