David Warner (cricketer)

David Andrew Warner (born 27 October 1986) is anAustralian cricketer. A quick-scoring left-handed open-ing batsman, Warner is the rst Australian cricketer in132 years to be selected for a national team in any formatwithout experience in rst-class cricket.[2] He currentlyplays for New South Wales, the Sunrisers Hyderabad andthe Sydney Thunder.[3]

1 Early lifeDavid Andrew Warner was born at Paddington, a sub-urb in eastern Sydney, New South Wales.[4] At the age of13 he was asked by his coach to switch to right-handedbatting because he kept hitting the ball in the air. How-ever one season later his mother, Sheila Warner (ne Or-ange), encouraged him to return to batting left-handedand he broke the U/16s run scoring record for the Syd-ney Coastal Cricket Club. He then made his rst gradedebut for the Eastern Suburbs club at the age of 15 andlater toured Sri Lanka with the Australian under-19s andearned a rookie contract with the state team.[5]

Warner attended Matraville Public School and RandwickBoys High School.[6]

2 CareerWarner is known for favouring the aerial route with hisaggressive left-handed batting style, and ability to switchhit, using the back of his bat or by taking a right-handedstance. He is an athletic elder and also a part-time spinbowler. His bowling style is unique in that he mixes o-spin bowling with hismore usual leg-spin bowling. At just170cms Warner generates his power from strong fore-arms and uses his low centre of gravity to get underneathdeliveries and hit them high in the air. In a Twenty20match for New South Wales in 2009, he hooked a six oShaun Tait that landed on the roof of the Adelaide Oval,only a month after hooking the same bowler 20 rows backat the SCG.[7]

Warners breakthrough innings for the New South WalesBlues came against Tasmania when he smashed 165* torecord the highest one day score by a Blues player ever.[8]Warner later backed this up with a 54-ball 97 also againstTasmania to narrowly miss the record for the fastest evercentury in Australian domestic cricket.[9]

This introduction to the domestic scene led toWarner be-

tournaments leading run scorer, rewarding him with theorange cap, although the Sunrisers narrowly missed outon reaching the knock-out phase.

2.3 English County Cricket 2009Warner has played for English County ChampionsDurham for the English cricket domestic season.[24]

2.4 ControversiesFormer New Zealand captain Martin Crowe has calledfor a yellow-card and red-card system to be introducedto international cricket to curb Warners thuggish on-eld behaviour, stating that Warner was the most juve-nile cricketer I have seen on a cricket eld.[25]

On 12 June 2013, Warner was dropped for Australiassecond match in 2013 ICC Champions Trophy matchagainst New Zealand following an attack on an Englandcricketer.[26] It later emerged that this player was JoeRoot. The event happened hours after Saturdays lossto England at Edgbaston earlier that day.[27] Accord-ing to the sports journalist Pat Murphy, the incidenttook place at 2am at the Walkabout bar in the centreof Birmingham, UK. On 13 June 2013, the AustralianCricket Team announced that Warner was to be ned7,000 (AU $11,500) and would not play for his coun-try until the rst Ashes test on 10 July 2013. Warnersubsequently missed the rest of the 2013 ICC Champi-ons Trophy and the tour matches against Somerset andWorcestershire.[28]

Warner attracted further controversy soon after. On 27July 2013, whilst playing for Australia A against SouthAfrica A in Pretoria he was involved in an on-eld alterca-tion with South Africa A wicket-keeper Thami Tsolekile.This was deemed serious enough for the umpires to stepin twice, however no formal complaints were made andWarner tweeted later in the day describing it as friendlybanter. Despite this, writers called into question his re-turn to the Australia squad for the third Ashes test againstEngland, which seemed likely after scoring 193 in the rst

3innings of this match.[29] He was eventually forgiven andwas recalled but caused huge hilarity when he 'hooked an-other one to Root' as he put it himself, as he was caughton the boundary by Root.
