Player: | DA Warner |
DateLine: 28th April 2009
A diminutive and dangerous opening batsman, David Warner exploded onto the international scene in 2008-09. His stunning effort of 89 from 43 balls in his Twenty20 debut against South Africa at the MCG was all the more remarkable as he was the first man to play for Australia before playing first-class cricket since 1877. His call-up had been a surprise and it capped off an eventful couple of months in which he also earned an IPL contract with Delhi Daredevils and a deal to use a two-sided bat. The rewards had come after he began the summer in dynamic fashion with a New South Wales one-day record of 165, and followed it with 97 from 54 balls in the FR Cup, proving his success was not a one-off.
 
Warner tasted state cricket for the first time in 2006-07 with two limited-overs and three Twenty20 appearances, although he failed to grasp his opportunities fully. An excellent fieldsman, Warner was used as a substitute in Australia's Test against South Africa in Perth in 2005-06. In the same season he was the leading run-scorer on the Australia Under-19 tour of India and went on to play at the Under-19 World Cup.LATEST SCORES
