On Saturday, David Warner made the most of his form as he smashed his maiden triple century, during the second Test against Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval. David Warner shattered several records as he went past the highest Test scores of Don Bradman and Mark Taylor (334).
It was an absolute eye treat for the fans to watch Warner smash Pakistan’s bowlers to all the corners of the ground. David Warner achieved the milestone in 89 balls making it the 4th fastest triple hundred ever in the history of Test cricket.
The Pakistani bowlers were failing badly to cause any trouble to David Warner. David was looking all-set to go on and break the record of Hayden and Brian Lara’s 400. However, the team management of Australia decided to call it a day. Tim Paine declared on a mammoth 589 for 3.
As soon as Tim Paine called it a day for the Australian cricket team and called back David Warner and Mathew Wade to return back to the pavilion, Twitterati started trolling Tim Paine left and right for the same. While some fans asked Cricket Australia to sack him, the others said that he hates cricket.
The cricket fans were not at all impressed with Tim Paine’s decision and they left no stone unturned to express themselves.
Here, have a look at the reactions of twitterati on this:
Tim Paine deserves to get sacked for this! Denying Warner the 400. You know he would’ve gotten it. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH #AUSvPAK

Australia have missed a trick here. Tim Paine should have let David Warner chase Brian Lara’s record of 400*.
They would have still time to take 20 wickets. #AUSvPAK

Tim Paine visited Pakistan with the World 11, when no other Australian had toured Pakistan for almost two decades.
Now he has declared the innings, when he could have easily batted on till the end of the day.
Kya yehe pyar hai?#AUSvPAK

Mark Taylor was thinking about the team and retired on 334, Michael Clarke was thinking about the team and retired on 329, Tim Paine is thinking about the team and allows Warner to pass 334 and then declare? Sorry but as a proud Aussie I find that incredibly disrespectful.
