WATCH: David Warner and Joe Burns play Rock Paper Scissors before opening batting in Adelaide Test

David Warner and Joe Burns play Rock Paper Scissors: The Australian opening batsmen indulged in a fun game before walking out to bat.

During the first day of the second test of the ongoing Pakistan’s tour of Australia in Adelaide, Australia opening batsmen David Warner and Joe Burns were seen playing a few rounds of “Rock Paper Scissors” in the dressing room.

The video of Warner and Burns playing the game was uploaded by cricket.com.au in the morning. If the commentators are to be believed, the batsmen were doing the same to decide who will take the strike against the new ball.

Warner and Burns, who stitched a 222-run opening partnership in the first Test in Brisbane, couldn’t emulate such an effort today as Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi dismissed Burns (4) in the fourth over after Australia captain Tim Paine won the toss and chose to bat.

At the time of writing this article, Warner and Australia all-rounder Marnus Labuschagne are in the middle of a 150+ partnership as they are piling the agony on the opposition bowlers.

It is worth mentioning the ongoing match is being played with the pink ball under lights. It was back in 2015 that the first day-night Test match was played at the same venue. While this is Australia sixth home day-night Test, it is the fourth one in Adelaide.
