David Warner questions spin choice as Australia faces South Africa in Test

During Day 3 of the second Test against South Africa in Gqeberha, David Warner expressed disbelief as Australia captain Pat Cummins opted to use part-time spinner Matt Renshaw instead of Nathan Lyon. The decision came as Australia aimed to utilize a four-man pace attack on a grassy pitch, leaving Lyon out of the playing XI. Warner criticized the empty stands at the ground, highlighting concerns about the health of Test cricket. Renshaw bowled five overs, conceding 18 runs without taking a wicket, in an effort to provide variety amidst a South African fightback. Both Warner and Renshaw had previously made headlines during the tour for a record partnership, adding irony to the situation.
