Sydney Thunder’s rapid revival under skipper David Warner confronts its final hurdle - a Big Bash final against the Hurricanes in Hobart for the title. Follow all the action live.
Sydney Thunder coach Trevor Bayliss doesn’t hesitate, nor need a leading question when asked the key difference in a finals-bound dressing room, a year on from owning the worst Big Bash record in a decade.“David Warner,” Bayliss deadpans.“The job he’s done as captain, it’s not just about his batting, it’s his personality. He’s always up for it, he’s a positive character. Loud, obnoxious sometimes. But the boys love it.
“He engages with everyone and out on the field, everyone’s got confidence that he obviously knows the game and the moves he’s made have, most of the time, been good ones.“He’s a proactive captain, proactive captains seem to know what’s about to happen and make a fielding change before it happens.”The Thunder went 1-7 last season, the worst return of any side since the same outfit failed to muster a win in 2012-13.
