Australia captain Tim Paine praised David Warner’s record triple century as one of the best innings of all time by a player from the country. In their second Test against Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval, David Warner smashed an unbeaten 335 in 418 balls, which is the second-highest score by an Australian in the Test. He also praised Marnus Labuschagne’s efforts who scored 162.

“David and Marnus have been unbelievably good. Guys have been scoring runs when they have been getting opportunities. We all witnessed a special knock from David Warner. It is among the top one or two innings ever by an Australian. It was a special moment for Australia,” he said in the post match presentation. “Marnus has been fantastic from the back end of the Ashes when he came into the side. He showed his temperament and he also showed that he is very very skilful.”

On the other hand, Pakistan captain Azhar Ali admitted that Australia is a far better team. They had lost the first Test by an innings and five runs and lost the second by an innings and 48 runs.

“I would like to congratulate Australia and especially David Warner. We have been beaten by a better team. We will take some positives from here,” he said.

Spinner Yasir Shah scored a century for Pakistan. His maiden Test ton wasn’t enough to help Pakistan win the game. He shared a 105-run stand with Babar Azam, who scored 97.

“Yasir Shah put up a brilliant fight in all the innings. Babar Azam has been a big positive for us in this series. And there is no doubt, he will be a big player for Pakistan in the future,” he said.
