David Warner Had To Fight His 'Inner Demon' During Test To T20s Transition

David Warner Had To Fight His 'Inner Demon' During Test To T20s Transition

Moeen Ali said that the low attendances during the recent Ashes series in Australia have made him anxious about the future of Test cricket. "The crowds were quite disappointing".

Australia opener David Warner had recently raised concerns over the gruelling worldwide cricket schedule and has now revealed that he had to fight his inner demons to recover from the slump he suffered after the Ashes. There were a couple of big days, but even when they [Australia] won the Ashes there weren't that many celebrating.

"That's when I thought, "Actually, we're struggling a bit".

While test matches around the world have seen falling attendances in recent years, the rivalry between England and Australia has usually managed to draw in the fans. After being all around the world and seeing the crowds everywhere else, we've got the best fans, we've got full houses most of the time.

He has been in his role since December 2014 and Root, who is approaching a year since his appointment as Test captain, says he thoroughly enjoys playing under the Middlesex batsman in the shorter formats. "I think he's fantastic".

Despite a record number of people attending (second most all-time) Ashes matches, the 30-year-old was anxious about the future of Test cricket.

Kat: Rain moving out; few showers remaining Sunday
The rain will start around 6:00pm but the heavy rain and possible thunderstorms won't happen until later in the evening. It will be near enough to us through Monday , allowing for rain to continue through at least the morning hours.

English venues like The Oval (24,500), Lord's (30,000) and Old Trafford (26,000) are dwarfed by their Australian equivalents; the MCG holds over 100,000 fans, while the SCG (46,000), Gabba (42,000) and Adelaide Oval (53,500) are all far larger than your average Test cricket venue in the UK. "The crowds were quite disappointing", Moeen said on his return to the England squad for a one-day series against New Zealand after being rested for the Twenty20 tri-series. "I think he had a really good series as captain in Australia".

There is a possibility that all-rounder Ben Stokes could make his global comeback in the match.

It is five months since he last appeared for England, but he is back with the team having pleaded not guilty to a charge of affray at Bristol Magistrates' Court.

"Just having him back helps the team... having him in the changing room, his presence, the style he plays", Moeen said.

"A lot of people can thrive off him. He can't wait to get started and we can't wait to have him back". "If we're going to be really serious about competing in that we're going to have to win series like this one, which will be tough against a good side like New Zealand".
