Little more than two weeks ago, David Warner was all about patience and batting for long periods of time in Asia.Youve got to be patient enough, he said before the first Test against Sri Lanka. Youve got to rotate the strike. Your patience comes with hitting your four-balls, your boundary balls. Theyre the ones youve got to really wait on. Thats what were talking about with patience in this game, especially over here. Youve got to bite the bullet.A pair of Test-match thrashings later, and with another bone-dry pitch in prospect at Colombos SSC ground, Warner and the Australians have rather changed their tune. Now Warner is all about attack, as he demonstrated in a pair of shot-a-ball cameos on the sharply turning Galle surface. Waiting for the bad ball is not longer an option. He who hesitates is lost, or at least lbw Herath.You have to think outside the box, Warner said. For me to come out of my crease personally its something I dont normally do but you have to do it in these conditions. If you defend, ones got your name on it, and ones going to straighten, which happened the other day. For me its about thinking on my feet, using my feet when Im out here and hopefully putting the bowler off some of his rhythm.Youre sitting ducks when youre facing six balls in a row - one of them is going to have your name on it. Especially when one turns and one doesnt turn. Its a hard game. People dont realise that youre going out here day one and day two and its turning square, where maybe five or six years ago probably day three, day four was probably when it was turning. So its hard from ball one and we really have to work hard and that starts in the nets.The nets have seen almost as much change in Australian philosophy as Warners rhetoric. Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc charged in at their batting compatriots in Pallekele training, but now they are sent to work separately on centre wickets with Allan Donald while the batsmen face an assortment of spinners - including the part-time leggies Warner and Steven Smith trying off breaks.At the teams main training session on Thursday, Adam Voges warmed up separately from the group due to a tight hamstring, but then trained fully with the team, including his own stint at the bowling crease. The newly arrived apprentice batsman Travis Head whirred down his own offbreaks too, before batting in the canary yellow pads he will use when the ODI series begins after the third Test.As vice-captain, Warner is aware of how this tour may influence planning for the next Asian trip, to India next year. He noted the words of captain Smith about potentially needing to choose a squad even more tailored to the prevailing conditions than this one, with a rather different batting group taken to India. Regardless of what happens at the SSC, questions will need to be asked.Thats probably the Moneyball theory isnt it, you pick players for certain conditions, Warner said. End of the day were all professional athletes and you have to adapt to the conditions. If you dont adapt to them, your heads probably on the line. For us as cricketers we have to do the best we can in these conditions and adapt as well as we can.If the selectors dont think we fit that area of expertise, whether or not we can play in these conditions or play at home, thats up to them if they want to go down that path and pick the team based on that. [India] is our next subcontinent tour so I think there will be a few assessments made. I think the selectors may have to reassess a few things and whatever they think is necessary, theyll take the appropriate action Im pretty sure. Joe Mullen Penguins Jersey . The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends.

Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. Linda Zondi, CSAs convener of selectors, has suggested that South Africa should consider introducing pink-ball cricket at first-class level. This, he said, would help prepare players for the inevitable move towards more day-night Test cricket.From a selection point of view, it only makes common sense as we move on that guys need to familiarise themselves with the process, Zondi said. You cannot be in a position where at the international level, you play with a particular ball but then at franchise level, where you are selecting from, the guys are not.While Australia, India, England, Pakistan, Bangladesh and West Indies have all introduced some pink-ball matches into their domestic competitions, South Africas only first-class experience with it was four years ago in a match between franchise team Knights and provincial side North-West. The only member of the current South Africa squad who played in that match was Rilee Rossouw. Rossouw made 21 and 2 in the drawn game, during which issues were raised about the quality of the ball.The pink ball was used again during the group stages of the inaugural Africa T20 Cup in 2015 - a season-opening tournament played between the provincial semi-professional sides alongside a team each from Zimbabwe, Kenya and Namibia. After feedback from players, match officials and the host broadcaster, it was decided that white balls would be used for the knockout round. This years Africa T20 did not feature pink balls at all.South Africa have also not been tempted to experiment with it in a franchise match. It was only when they agreed to play a day-night Test on this Australia tour that their international players were exposed to the pink ball. South Africa A toured Australia in winter and sent opening batsmen Stephen Cook and Dean Elgar, middle-order man Temba Bavuma and opening bowler Vernon Philander to gain experience with the pink ball. Initially, Philander expressed concerns about the softness of the baall.ddddddddddddHe has since returned with the Test squad, who played in a pink-ball warm-up match in Adelaide before the series. There, Quinton de Kock downplayed the hype over the pink ball, saying he found it no different from any other colour ball because it was tricky to face upfront and then became easier.Kyle Abbott had similar views after the Hobart Test. It is not that much different to a red ball, or a white ball really for us. It is either going to swing or seam, he said. It all depends on the surface. It might nip. Under lights it did seem to nip a bit, but well just have to see when we get there because I think the conditions will be a little bit different.The Adelaide pitch is expected to have a fair amount of grass - a means of delaying the aging of the ball - which hints at an advantage for bowlers. South Africa, though, cant be too sure because their experience with the pink ball is limited to the matches they have played in Australia. Only Rossouw knows otherwise, although Zondi is hopeful that will change in future.The key is that within the franchise, within our structure, sooner or later it will be an idea to also make sure all those guys where we pick from are using the pink ball, Zondi said. Im not quite sure when it will happen because thats a different pipeline in terms of the guys who are dealing with it but we hope it will happen.While all major franchise grounds have the facilities for day-night first-class cricket, a potentially prohibitive cost will be that of turning the lights on. Electricity prices in South Africa have risen 10% in 2016 alone and most stadiums spend hundreds of thousands of Rands to use floodlights. The franchises and provinces are heavily funded by CSA so if domestic pink-ball cricket is to become a reality, the finances will need to be carefully assessed. ' ' '
