Justin Langer’s men are a closed knit group, a fact that is known to one and all. The camaraderie of the team is comparable to that of New Zealand’s, the one that is rated highly. So don’t be surprised if David Warner comes to the rescue of his partner, which, in this case, was Joe Burns.
By the time Australia, who won the Toss, had played the first six overs, they looked settled in against the New Zealand attack. Debutant Lockie Ferguson leaked quite some runs in his first three overs, precisely 17. So the batsmen had enough space to breathe. But Southee, who is spearheading the attack in Boult’s absence, was seemingly frustrated as was seen in the first delivery of his fourth over.

Southee, on the other hand, collected the ball and threw it back targetting the Stumps. But whatever made it impossible meant that Burns, who got knocked on his pads, was motionless during this occurrence. As Burns held shocked, Southee went back grinning but was hindered by an enraged Warner, who was at the non-striker’s end. Southee, in his reply, acknowledged that he was pointing at the stumps. However, Warner wasn’t satisfied.
Southee glanced behind as Warner held to make another remark: “You’re supposed to be Mr. Nice guys!”
While the Ashes is the rivalry we talk about so much, the trans-Tasman heat is an unmissable event.
