    Did you catch David Warner's innings?

    135 not out from 69 balls against the Chennai Super Kings ... Awesome hitting !!

    His last six went out of the stadium !!

    He must be incredibly strong, or they were playing on the smallest ground in the world as he actually hit a six batting with the wrong hand. Anyone who's ever played cricket knows how impossible that shot is...! Amazing...

      Some of his shots were as a right handed batsman. Incredible

        To be able to make the decision to switch, track the ball in flight and then strike it on your weak side like he does, it defies explanation.

        My favourite was putting Dougie Bollinger back over his head and out of the stadium.

        Unfortunately there isn't a good version on Youtube yet.

          Watched the replay last night. WOW. The bowling was pathetic though. Bollinger got spanked all over the park. Warner was hitting reverse hand sixes everywhere of the mid pacers FFS.

            Became the first man to score back to back T20 tons last night. Caught the innings and he was hitting them for fun, all genuine cricket shots, looks like he has come along way

              Great effort. What's your opinion of switch hitting? I'm not sure about it myself. Seems a little unfair. Perhaps the bowler should be able to switch whether he comes over or around the wicket as he runs in!!

                Personally I don't like it. Too heavily slanted in favour of the batsmen.

                  It shouldn't be allowed to happen. Bowlers have to nominate which side of the wicket they are bowling from and the same should apply to the batsman.

                    I don't think batsmen should be allowed to change their hand placement on the bat. If a right handed batsman wants to hit a reverse shot, it needs to be done with the right hand still closest to the bottom of the handle.
