Warner gets a hug from Gayle as he is walking back to the hut. He looks to be in menacing touch. He has all but sealed the opening spot in the Boxing day Test then. Except for Faulkner, every bowler was taken for runs by Warner. Dunk, the non-striker echoes the popular sentiment when he says "Unfortunately for Thunder, Warner, won't be available for the length of the tournament"

A feedbacker weirdly named Fedexrafa asks if it was three T20 hundreds on the trot for Warner. He seems to have forgotten the ducks in the two match series in South Africa

Warner, predictably, has been awarded the Man of the match. That's it from all of us here. Please do join us for the Adelaide Strikers V Melbourne Renegades game tomorrow
