He’s Playing With Great Freedom – Justin Langer
Justin Langer said that Travis Head batted with freedom, similar to Rishabh Pant and Adam Gilchrist’s batting styles in the longer format.

He Played Off The Front Foot And The Back Foot – Justin Langer
Former Australian batter Matthew Hayden praised David Warner and said that the left-handed batter showed character against the moving new ball in overseas conditions.
