Legendary Australian pacer Glenn McGrath stated David Warner’s profession might be “coming towards an end” until the veteran opener scores large within the second innings of the continuing fifth and last Ashes Test towards England.
Warner might solely handle 24 within the first innings at The Oval.
The left-handed opener has scored simply 225 runs within the 9 innings on this Ashes at a mediocre common of 25.00, which incorporates just one half-century (66) that he made throughout the second Test at Lord’s.

“I know he came out the other day and said he wanted to play it to the end of next summer. But I think the pressure is on him. The vultures are circling. Unless he comes out in the second dig and produces a big score, I think he might struggle,” he stated.
Despite speculations that he may name time on his Test profession after the Ashes, Warner has dominated out that chance.
Warner has hinted that he was desirous to retire at his dwelling venue, Sydney Cricket Ground, throughout the Test sequence towards Pakistan later this 12 months.
With solely a century in his final 25 Tests, McGrath thinks that consistency has been a problem with Warner currently, having gotten off to good begins solely to present them away.
“Unfortunately, he’s got a lot of starts this series and then just gets out. I’m not sure what’s there. The timing is not quite there. He had that big innings back in Australia on Boxing Day where he got the 200, but there hasn’t been a sort of real big score before or after that for quite some time”
“He’s probably feeling the pressure, he still talks it up and says he’s going fine and this and that, but he’s got to put the runs on the board, unfortunately,” he concluded.
