Glenn McGrath calls out David Warner's for not being at his best

Warner's lacklustre form hasn't really affected the Aussies as they have scraped through with ease so far. The 2-1 lead by the visitors may not have emphasised much on Warner's display but former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath feels the opener could be in the line to retire if he doesn't find his rhythm back.

He singled out Warner for not scoring enough runs. Warner could only manage to produce 225 runs in the last nine innings and McGrath issued a stern warning to the batsman as he believes if the player fails to deliver in the second innings it could turn out to be worse.

In an interaction with SENQ Breakfast, he said, “There’s a bit of pressure on Dave Warner.

“He looked ok (in the first innings at the Oval), but then got out again. To be honest, I think, unfortunately that maybe it’s coming towards the end of his career.

“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.”

Earlier Mitchell Starc's brilliant four wicket haul inflicted massive damage on the hosts and the onus will be on the Aussie batsmen to take up the advantage in ab id to stamp their authority.
