Australia opener David Warner said that he was never concerned with answering critics and was only looking to put the Sri Lankan bowlers under pressure. Warner scored 65 off 42 balls in what was his first T20 half century since April, shaking off a spate of poor form that led to him getting dropped from the SunRisers Hyderabad squad in this year’s Indian Premier League. Warner scored a duck and one run in Australia’s two warm-up games before getting out for 14 runs against South Africa. His first boundary on Thursday came off Sri Lanka’s mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana and he said it was the same shot that cost him his wicket against Ravichandran Ashwin in Australia’s first warm-up match against India. “I got criticised when I got out to Ashwin in the practice game playing the same shot,” Warner said after Australia’s seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka. “We know which bowlers are bowling what, we know where the fields are and we know how to try and apply pressure.

Now, a new report has claimed Meta is working on a smartwatch that will go neck and neck with the Apple Watch, and it has a camera.

The glasses use inbuilt cameras to record videos and you can choose to make the Ray-Ban Stories upload videos to Facebook or Instagram right away.
