Aussies David Warner faces Ashes beard crisis
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that Australian opening batsman David Warner faces a beard crisis as he was dismissed for just 3 runs by Stuart Broad at Lords on Thursday.
Warner was dismissed by Broad at Edgbaston for 2 and 8, on both occasions also by Broad.
The BLF says that after an incident that saw Warner suspended from Test cricket for a period, he grew a gravitas adding beard. It had been thought this would make Warner a key contender for the coveted Beard of the Ashes 2019 accolade.
However it became clear at Edgbaston that Warner had been trimming his beard and the campaigners say that the Aussie opener clearly does not have the right balance between beard and ball interaction at the moment.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, while we are not sure if Jonathan Agnew counts as a beard expert he was absolutely right after the Edgbaston Test to point out on Twitter that Warner’s beard is not helping his performance at the moment
