BENGALURU: David Warner, in his cricket gear, was the first Australian to walk towards the nets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday. A couple of minutes later, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne also joined. They were all ready to take strike, full 15-20 minutes earlier than their scheduled practice session, which started with throwdowns at three separate nets.
Central figures of Australia's batting, the trio's determination stems from their below-par outings in the first three World Cup matches. They would be keen to allow their bats to do the talking against Pakistan here on Friday.
