Australia opener David Warner on Saturday shattered a number of records with his maiden Test triple ton against Pakistan in Adelaide. However, skipper Tim Paine’s surprising decision to declare their first innings early left the cricket fans puzzled.


Warner was unbeaten on 335 when Paine declared the innings at 589/3 and netizens felt the Aussie opener could have broken former West Indies batsman Brian Lara's record of unbeaten 400 in a Test against England in Antigua.

The fans were so unsatisfied that they accused the Australian skipper of ‘crushing once in a lifetime opportunity for Warner’. Here are the reactions:









With the triple hundred, Warner's score is now the highest individual score at the ground as he surpassed Don Bradman's 299. He also went past Don Bradman's score of 334, which was also the highest score of former Australia skipper Mark Taylor.

The highest individual score for an Australia lies with opener Matthew Hayden with 380. He hit that against Zimbabwe in 2003 in Perth.
