Aussies David Warner Ashes facial hair crisis worsens as he shaves his beard
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that Australian opening batsman David Warner’s Ashes facial hair crisis has worsened after he was reported to be clean shaven as the Australian team trained at Leeds today ahead of the Third Test on Thursday
Warner was dismissed by Stuart Broad at Edgbaston for 2 and 8 in the First Test and at Lords he made just 3 and 5
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 both Edgbaston and Lords that Warner had been trimming his beard and the campaigners say that the Aussie opener clearly did not have the right balance between beard and ball interaction at the moment.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, by shaving his beard Warner has made precisely the wrong tactical decision. He should have been growing it Mike Brearley style not getting rid of it.
