Burns missed his century by just three runs when he tried to sweep a Yasir Shah-delivery and was bowled round his stumps. In the Canberra Test in February earlier this year, Burns made a fluent 180 against Sri Lanka but his lack of consistency couldn’t help him cement his spot. Warner went nostalgic pairing up with Burns again and revealed how his opening partner had gone through his share of ups-and-downs to earn the baggy green again and hopefully for a longer duration. He said:
Joe Burns echoed his partner’s words and thought that the left-right combination was a big factor working in their favour while opening the batting again. He went to the lengths of tagging this pair as ‘the beauty and the beast’, with his destructive partner being the beast. A satisfied Burns said:
In the 2016 tour of Sri Lanka, Burns had managed only 34 runs in four innings and was eventually dropped only to return to fill the vacant spot left by Warner and Cameron Bancroft earlier this year.
