He is in a bad patch and a bowler with 450 test wickets keeps getting him.
Then man already has twenty test hundreds with power to add. He will recover form.

Would you call him an elite test batter like Cook,Root, AB or Amla?
Every bit as good if not better than Amla and Cook.

It seems like the one year ban has affected Warner's form. He lost it completely.
You cant be serious. He is an FTB just like how Sehwag as. Atelast Sehwag was a beast against spinners whereas Warner is completely clueless whenever there is horizontal movement. That is why he has an under 30 batting in average in most Test playing nations outside Australia barring SA and the flat roads of UAE.
Not even good enough to tie the shoe laces of cook or Amla.

Those two blokes played their home matches in tough conditions, performed across most countries and ended up with an average over 45.
Warner is averaging 46 currently and has failed in England,New Zealand, India and Sri Lanka. He has struggled Vs spin, seam and swing and has only done well Vs pace and bounce.

He is not a versatile Test batsman and can only perform at home and the similar conditions of South Africa. It has nothing to do with the ban - we saw it at the World Cup.

He does well in IPL though. However, I noticed that he generally struggles in England. I never saw him do too well in UK.

He does well in Limited Overs everywhere. However, he cannot handle lateral movement and spin in Test cricket.

He has been utterly humiliated by Broad. This is worse than Hafeez vs Steyn, considering Warner has more pedigree than Hafeez and Broad has less pedigree than Steyn.
Respect to Broad for not giving the hack a send-off which he richly deserved.
All-time great lol. Perhaps the all-time great bunny.

Lol. Let him score runs somewhere else other then Australia and South Africa. Truly a FTB. No way near them 2. They are miles ahead of him.

This. Makes me laugh all time great. The way it's going Broad will most likely get him out more times then Warner scoring against him.

This series has really hurt him.
Thinking about other acknowledged “good openers” like Hayden, Langer, Cook and Sehwag, even in their very worst series where they couldn’t get bat on ball, they tended to get one score somewhere, either an 80-90 or a gritty hundred, which allayed one’s fears at the time that they were losing it.
Warner will struggle to be seen as a great after a series like this. Sandpapergate doesn’t help either.

He is not a ATG and won't finish as one due to his issues away from home.
Still a very good batter though.

David Warner's Ashes struggles will 'make him a better player' – Marnus Labuschagne
Australia opener David Warner endured a torrid time throughout the Ashes, but Marnus Labuschagne expects him to come back stronger.
In 10 Ashes innings, Warner managed just 95 runs – the lowest returns for an opener in a series of five matches or more. 61 off his runs came in one innings at Headingley, when he looked like he was breaking the shackles of poor form, only for Stuart Broad and Jofra Archer to pin him down again.
Labsuchagne, who was Australia's second-highest run-getter in the series after Steve Smith, backed Warner to learn from the experience and bounce back a better cricketer. He also revealed that the 32-year-old was a great influence on him and other youngsters on the touring party.
"It was the first time I got to know Dave and I loved spending time with him," Labuschagne was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
"The way he conducted himself the whole tour, being under pressure and obviously he didn't score runs he would like (but) the way he helped the guys around like myself and the other younger guys, talking about the game and about batting and just his whole demeanour was really great.
"It's a real credit to him. It was a very tough series for him personally but you look back and we won't know until end of our summer but I think that's going to make him a better player. The way he conducted himself around the group was just awesome."
Labuschagne was thrown into the Ashes battle quite suddenly, as he was named Smith's concussion substitute during the second Test at Lord's. Labushchagne didn't look back from there, scoring four fifties in seven innings to accumulate 353 runs at 50.42.
While the 25-year-old seems like a lock-in for Australia's next Test assignment – a home series against Pakistan, he isn't getting carried away and remains focussed on scoring runs in domestic competitions.
"Obviously I want that spot but at the end of the day, my job is to just keep scoring runs," he said. "It doesn't matter what game it is, whether it's this Sunday in the Marsh Cup, or the first (Marsh Sheffield) Shield game.
"You've just got keep your focus that small because if you get too far ahead that's when you start putting unnecessary pressure on yourself, and you find yourself missing out in a game and find yourself starting to think about it too much.

David Warner insists he remains in form and full of confidence despite a lack of runs as former selector Mark Waugh labelled him a lock for the first Test of the summer.
Warner will play his first game for Australia on home soil since the Cape Town scandal in Sunday's opening Gillette T20 INTL against Sri Lanka, but his focus remains partly on the red ball.
The opener has scored more than 20 just twice in his past 15 first-class innings for state and country, with the only highlights being a half-century in the Ashes and a hundred against Queensland last week.
Despite having endured his toughest Test series in England where he averaged just 9.50, Warner says he is still hitting the ball well before next month's series against Pakistan.
"I'm not out of form, just out of runs," Warner said at Thursday's Fox Cricket launch.
"I scored a hundred the other day at the Gabba, so for me it's about going out there and putting back-to-back performances on the board.
"My confidence is always high.
"Obviously it's the first time in my career I have been under a bit of pressure and I hadn't scored runs.
"We've got to come back here on home soil and score some runs and I did that in Queensland the other day."
Warner's return for Australia in the Twenty20 format over the next fortnight means he will miss NSW's next Marsh Sheffield Shield match against South Australia and rush back for his final Shield hit
out before the first Domain Test of the summer, against Pakistan on November 21-25.
"It's a little disappointing with the scheduling but we've had that for many years and can't do anything about that," Warner said.
"I play all three formats and I have to do put my best foot forward to what I do.
"I'm in the Twenty20 team and I have to participate in that."
Warner's form is one of several issues confounding selectors in the lead up to the first Test.
With two Shield rounds to play, no batsman has put their hand up to open or fill the No.6 roll.
Warner at least has runs on the board in Australia, with his average of 59.64 at home part of the reason why Waugh insists he should play at the Gabba.
"I would lock in four batsmen at the moment. David Warner, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Wade (for the first Test),” said Waugh, who was a selector up until 18 months ago.
"I know Davey hasn't scored the runs he would like but I was told his hundred was very good up in the Shield match up there back on home soil.
"I think he is a lock in. He will do well this summer and I would definitely have him in."

He'll probably score against Pak and NZ this summer, everyone will say he's an ATG and then he'll go overseas again, get humiliated and the cycle continues.
To be successful he has to have a good defence and ability to play spin and swing, he deosn't have any of those.

This Pakistan series is a godsend for him. We simply don’t have the bowling attack to challenge him on Australian pitches.
A lean home summer following the Ashes humiliation could have put his position as the first-choice opener in jeopardy, but Pakistan is pretty much the perfect opposition for him to get among the runs again.

Why not ? Hafeez has managed to do it, can’t be that difficult for Warner surely.

Australian great Shane Warne says out-of-form David Warner deserves to be locked into the Test team for the entire summer, even if runs continue to evade him.
But Warne’s former teammate Mark Waugh says Warner has to make a score against Pakistan or risk losing his spot in the Test team.
The explosive left-hander had a horror tour of England when he scored only 95 runs in his five Ashes matches, for a woeful average of 9.50 and a high score of 61.
Those are also his Test stats since returning from a 12-month Cricket Australia suspension for his role in the infamous Cape Town ball tampering fiasco.
And despite one Sheffield Shield century at the Gabba, Warner has also had some disappointing returns to start the Australian summer.
But despite this apparent form slump, Warne says he would lock Warner into the opening spot for the upcoming five Tests.
“I would assume that Davey has so many credits in the bank he’s probably there for the whole summer, the whole five Test matches,” Warne told media at the Fox Cricket summer launch at the SCG on Thursday.
“And I’m sure he will deliver a couple of big hundreds.”
Warner is no stranger to falling out form on away tours.
His overall career average in England is only 26.04 from 13 Tests.
But it’s in Australia where the fiery opener flourishes, averaging 59.64 on home decks with 15 centuries to his name from 67 innings.
He was found out by England’s right-arm swing king Stuart Broad during the Ashes, but Warne is confident those troubles will be left behind when he starts playing on Australian decks.
“Dave is class,” Warne said of Warner.
“I think Stuart Broad bowled really well to him in bowler friendly conditions at the start in the Ashes.
“Playing in England is different to anywhere else in the world, India is different.
“But playing here in Australia Dave has done really well, he’s a class act, he would be one of the first picked if I was selecting the side.”
Fellow Australian legends Waugh and Andrew Symonds agree Warner will be one of the two opening batsmen picked for Australia’s first Test, to be played from November 21 against Pakistan.
But Symonds isn’t as confident as his old teammate Warne that the selectors will stick with Warner if he fails to make runs.
“I don’t think (Warner) has got the (whole) summer, but he does have a lot of credit,” Symonds told foxsports.com.au.
“For him it’s just one innings at a time, finding his mojo and finding what it is that makes him be the player we all know he can be.
“Hopefully he finds that sooner rather than later because we need him in this team.
“He adds a different dynamic to how our innings plays out if he scores runs. He’s destructive. Bowlers don’t enjoy bowling to him because he hits good balls for four, and he scores very quickly.
“It’s up to Davey, but we do need him in the team.”
Waugh believes Warner needs to get a big score in the two Tests against Pakistan, or risk losing his spot for the next three matches, to be played against New Zealand.
“I think he’s got a few more credits in the bank than a few other guys who have had low scores. I guess from Dave’s point of view he wouldn’t want to have two Test matches in a row where he fails four times,” Waugh said.
“I think he needs to make some runs early on in the season against Pakistan.
“But I think he will, I think the conditions will suit him. No one has got a god given right in the team, so he’s got to make some runs.”

“For him it’s just one innings at a time, finding his mojo and finding what it is that makes him be the player we all know he can be.
“Hopefully he finds that sooner rather than later because we need him in this team.
“He adds a different dynamic to how our innings plays out if he scores runs. He’s destructive. Bowlers don’t enjoy bowling to him because he hits good balls for four, and he scores very quickly.
“It’s up to Davey, but we do need him in the team.”
Waugh believes Warner needs to get a big score in the two Tests against Pakistan, or risk losing his spot for the next three matches, to be played against New Zealand.
“I think he’s got a few more credits in the bank than a few other guys who have had low scores. I guess from Dave’s point of view he wouldn’t want to have two Test matches in a row where he fails four times,” Waugh said.
“I think he needs to make some runs early on in the season against Pakistan.
“But I think he will, I think the conditions will suit him. No one has got a god given right in the team, so he’s got to make some runs.”

'I Absolutely Love It Out Here,' says Warner after his Maiden T20I Century
https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/1470501
David Warner hammered an unbeaten century on his 33rd birthday during Australia's record-breaking 134-run victory over Sri Lanka.
An unbeaten 100 exactly, brought up with a single from the final ball of the innings, just the 56th he’d faced. Warner finally surpassed the 89 he made against South Africa on his international debut in 2009.
"You don't even actually realise until you get it. It wasn't even on my mind. You actually forget that you don't have one," Warner said. "Maxi reminded me and said 'welcome to the club' which is quite funny. It's just one of those things to contribute, come out and play you free-flowing game from the start. Obviously the couple of balls where a little bit here and there. You don't get to face too many deliveries back to back when someone's going off. It's always fantastic to get that. You sort of sit back and watch highlights of other people's packages and stuff, you forget how much it actually drives you when you're out there.
We love the people's support and we love the Australian crowds coming out and supporting us and we always try and put on a show for them. Emotions were great. Another year older. Another game for Australia and coming out here in front of an Adelaide crowd. There's no better place to play you know. You've always got a fantastic wicket, the curators are absolutely fantastic here. It's a batting paradise. I absolutely love it out here."
Not that Warner’s was the only story today. This was Australia’s largest ever victory in terms of runs in a T20 international, and one person alone can’t pull that off. Skipper Aaron Finch struck 64 from 36, and Glenn Maxwell posted 62 from 28.
"Very good from us. We all set out to come out and try be positive with the bat," Warner said. "I think the way forward is exactly that, where we try and set the tone at the top and then Maxi coming in and doing what he does. For once the plan actually came off. Obviously starting well and then Maxi coming in and doing what he does. And yeah, someone batting through. That was all in all a great batting performance and obviously the bowlers finished it off there."
Adam Zampa was the pick of the bowlers for Australia, taking 3/14 from his four overs, as Sri Lanka could only manage 99/9 from their 20. There are two games left to play in this series, before another three T20Is against Pakistan.
"For me it's about keeping a calm head and making sure that I bide my time a little bit and try and pick the gaps as much as I can and run hard. [Last over] bat on ball and I was thinking obscure field so for me you know what you're going to get. It's going to wide and pretty much, I don't lap or anything like that so whatever comes into my mind I try to get it out of my head.
"It was in my head but you've got to try and pick your gaps. I think in Australia with those fields, you only have to hit the gap hard and it can beat the fielder and then you can run two. You're always thinking at the start of the over about what do we need. Obviously we had plenty on the board so you're just trying to hit gaps."
Australia and Sri Lanka will face each other again in Brisbane on Wedneday.

HTB. He becomes beast at home and will score century in one session. But outside of his comfort zone, he is Chris Martin 2.0.
Lol at people calling him ATG. He is poor man’s Sehwag.

Top player. If he was not banned, could have really helped Aus win the last WC. Because after the comeback he was not the same attacking batsman. a bit slow and defensive batsman..but after gaining his form and confidence we will see old of him. Arguably Aussies 2nd best opener after Hayden.

A lean Ashes series has not shaken David Warner’s confidence with the veteran opener rediscovering his devastating form in Australia’s T20I clean sweep of Sri Lanka.
Warner was not dismissed in the three-match series in his return to international cricket on home soil, posting scores of 100, 60 and 57 against the hapless tourists.
The 33-year-old was named player of the match in all three fixtures - it was no surprise he took out player-of-the-series honours as well.
Warner, who also scored 125 against Queensland in the Marsh Sheffield Shield last month, stressed the importance of staying fresh amid a packed schedule.
"For me, it's about keeping it simple and making sure I'm staying mentally fresh ... that's the most important thing,” Warner said.
“We’ve got a lot of cricket. I had a good break, that year off, and then coming back you forget how intense (international cricket is) and how much we play.
“It’s about monitoring yourself and making sure you’re speaking up with the coaches and staff about how you’re feeling.
“They’re the honest conversations you have to have as a player and we’ve got to make sure we’re on top of our game coming into the Test series.”
Australia’s three-game T20I series against Pakistan – which spans six days – starts on Sunday before the two teams commence a two-Test series on November 21.
Australia will then lock horns with trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand in a three-Test series.
Warner made his return to elite cricket in Australia’s World Cup campaign following a one-year ban for his part in the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.
While he caused a myriad of headaches for bowlers – he scored 647 in 10 games at an average of 71.89 in the 50-over tournament – the Ashes series was a different story.
England paceman Stuart Broad dismissed Warner a remarkable seven times in the five-Test series.
The left-hander contributed just 95 runs at 9.5, leading to speculation his place in the Test team was on shaky ground.
But Warner, who has 21 Test centuries and averages 45.47, has remained upbeat.
“I’ve always been confident,” he said. “I was out of runs.
“For me, it’s about going out there and trying to apply myself 100 per cent, like I do every time. I’ve been hitting the ball as well as ever.
“I haven’t changed any routines.
“I still have the same maintaining that rage to go out there and back myself and play to the best of my ability.
"I'm a confident person, I don't go out there thinking I'm going to get out ... I just play the same way.
"It helps when you've got momentum and it helps when you've got guys at the other end bat the same way and you can get pressure taken off you."
Australia’s series against Pakistan starts at the SCG on Sunday before matches in Canberra and Perth.

ATG prospects are gone for Warner.
He is 33, avgs 45 and has more or less irreversibly poor records in 2 major countries (Eng + Ind)
He will be an LOI great but in Tests, he will be behind Hayden, Langer, Taylor on Aus openers lists
Probably equal with Slater

Warner, to his credit, has dominated a series in SA against an ATG bowling attack of Steyn, Morkel and Philander and was named player of the series. With him, the issue is conditions not bowling attack.
However, Australian conditions were much tougher in 90s or till late 00s than it is now.

Australian spinner Nathan Lyon is backing opener David Warner to come out firing when the two-Test series against Pakistan begins on Thursday in Brisbane.
Warner endured his worst Test series during the Ashes campaign, scoring 95 runs at an average of 9.5.
But the 33-year-old has found form since in the T20 arena, being dismissed just once across six innings against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Warner plundered unbeaten scores of 100, 60, 57 and 48 during his recent golden run, with his confidence sky high heading into the first Test at the Gabba.
Lyon feels Warner has put the disappointment of the Ashes behind him.
"Dave is a world-class player. I'm expecting him to come out here and play exceptionally well," Lyon told reporters on Saturday at Brisbane Airport.
"No doubt, he would have been down and disappointed about the Ashes that he had.
"But he was still part of the side to go over there and retain the Ashes, which is pretty bloody special, if you ask me."
Warner fell to England paceman Stuart Broad in seven of his 10 digs in the Ashes.
Lyon said Warner had learnt from that experience.
"I know when I'm bowling to someone who I've got the wood over, it can play on their mind," Lyon said.
"So no doubt, Davey would have felt the pressure. But it's one of those things where you need to accept the challenge and move on and try to get better."
The pace battle between Australia and Pakistan is set to be a major drawcard at the Gabba.
Australia will boast Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood in their arsenal.
Pakistan have the options to unleash 16-year-old excitement machine Naseem Shah, 19-year-olds Shaheen Afridi and Muhammad Musa, and the impressive Muhammad Abbas.
But Lyon has a message - don't forget about me.
While the juicy Gabba deck is traditionally a paceman's paradise, Lyon has also thrived at the venue, snaring 33 wickets at an average of 27.7 over eight Tests.
"For the last eight or nine years I've been playing Test cricket here, everyone's been talking about playing four quicks every time I come here," Lyon said.
"I love playing cricket here. I think it's a good contest between bat and ball. Personally, I find I get a fair amount of bounce and a bit of spin over the last couple of years as well."

Home track and poor attack Bully.
As soon as he plays in testing conditions again he will be a walking wicket.

Would he have averaged 60 in home conditions of Australia back in 90s or early 00s? Thoughts on this?
His away numbers are exposed but what about home ones. He has the advantage of playing on really flat Australian wickets.

Exceptional against ordinary attacks at home.
Away even this ordinary attack wouldn't have let him score more than 50

Ok , maybe your grandma is better than Pak batsmen who got whitewashed to Lanka and lost a test to WI.
Why's that one test we lost against wi THAT important? lol
You lost to Aus at your home too by 300+ runs. Isn't that embarrassing for you?
As for the Sri lanka series, Herath was the only reason we lost. He completely destroyed our batting lineup

Yeah that is embarrassing 333 runs to be exact, still remember O’keefe.
Also remember Panesar, Kevin and Swann winning against us.
Also remember when after 35 years Aus won in 2004-5, coz we had the last day rained and couldn’t draw series, losing a home test or series is a big thing for us.
Also what about Kiwis in UAE?

He will finish his career in the rankings below ATGs. Brilliant batter.
The only reason we lost that series was because we couldn't chase 30 with 7 wickets in hand. If we had won then we would have won the series 2-1.
It's not like we lost by a big margin lol
Such brainfades happen
If we had a 5 match series with them, I'm 95% we would have won

Nice lad and exceptional player at home in tests but outside that mediocre. He averages under 30 except in SA (Homelike conditions to an extent) and BD & UAE (Where he has just played 2 tests each).

Australia batsman David Warner has revealed how former captain Ricky Ponting was a 'father figure' to him during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, helping him cope with the criticism that followed his return from a 12-month ball-tampering suspension.
Ponting, who was the assistant coach for Australia during the World Cup, helped Warner stay positive. His influence was evident, as Warner finished as the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament, with 647 runs at an average of 71.88, including three centuries.
"It was fantastic having Ricky there, he was like my old man," Warner told cricket.com.au. "He was always checking in and I think we had breakfast, lunch and dinner together, amongst the golf trips we had.
"He helped me a lot through [the World Cup]. It was a tough period for me coming back into the Australian colours and getting back in the groove of playing cricket again, especially in England."
While Warner lit up the World Cup, it took him some time to translate that success in the longest format. After a disappointing Ashes this year, where he scored 95 runs across 10 innings, the opening batsman hit a sensational 154 against Pakistan in the first Test in Brisbane.
Ponting's influence on Warner isn't just restricted to the World Cup. "I tried to be a sponge off him and it worked a treat. I keep in touch with him all the time, as much as I can," said Warner.
Ponting is widely regarded as one of Australia's most successful captains. Despite 17-year-old international career being studded with achievements, the former Australia captain is no stranger to criticism.
"I knew it was going to be hard for him coming back into international cricket," said Ponting. "I knew the crowds were going to be against him and [Steve Smith]. I've got to know Davey [Warner] really well over the years.
"It was good to spend the time with him, talk a lot about batting, and I got a really good understanding of the way he goes about his cricket and what that's developed into from when I retired."
I tried to be a sponge off him and it worked a treat.
David Warner
Ponting further praised Warner's mentality and confessed that he would have enjoyed playing with the younger man. "He's a competitor. He's a winner – he's got that attitude about him. He's the sort of bloke you want to play with, I've said that right from the start.
"You think about some of my closest mates from the game – Langer and Hayden, and Gilly, McGrath and Warne – they're exactly the same; when things get tough and tight you want those blokes in your corner, and Davey's certainly one of those.”

While Warner lit up the World Cup, it took him some time to translate that success in the longest format. After a disappointing Ashes this year, where he scored 95 runs across 10 innings, the opening batsman hit a sensational 154 against Pakistan in the first Test in Brisbane.
Ponting's influence on Warner isn't just restricted to the World Cup. "I tried to be a sponge off him and it worked a treat. I keep in touch with him all the time, as much as I can," said Warner.
Ponting is widely regarded as one of Australia's most successful captains. Despite 17-year-old international career being studded with achievements, the former Australia captain is no stranger to criticism.
"I knew it was going to be hard for him coming back into international cricket," said Ponting. "I knew the crowds were going to be against him and [Steve Smith]. I've got to know Davey [Warner] really well over the years.
"It was good to spend the time with him, talk a lot about batting, and I got a really good understanding of the way he goes about his cricket and what that's developed into from when I retired."
I tried to be a sponge off him and it worked a treat.
David Warner
Ponting further praised Warner's mentality and confessed that he would have enjoyed playing with the younger man. "He's a competitor. He's a winner – he's got that attitude about him. He's the sort of bloke you want to play with, I've said that right from the start.
"You think about some of my closest mates from the game – Langer and Hayden, and Gilly, McGrath and Warne – they're exactly the same; when things get tough and tight you want those blokes in your corner, and Davey's certainly one of those.”

He's not an atg. A bit too much of a home track bully.
He's entertaining but he's poor away.
Let's compare to a similar combative & aggressive opening bat from Oz who IS an atg- Mathew Hayden.
Hayden still had an excellent record in India & a half decent record even in England (avg 35, one century, so not a disaster).
Warner doesn't seem able to find a way for himself to adjust & score anywhere but home vs major opposition. Hayden did. So I'd leave Warner out of the atg ranks.

Warner in fair dinkum element as Ashes demons laid to rest
Eight years into David Warner’s international career, it may be concluded that he prefers drinking Australian water, driving on Australian roads, watching Australian TV, breathing Australian air. The breadth of the Australian sky, the collective caw of the Australian accent as it floats across Australian cricket grounds, the sniff of Australian turf: these are David Warner’s element.
In Brisbane, Pakistan had been criticised for not bowling the proven Stuart Broad around-the-wicket angle at Warner.
In Adelaide, they compensated, spearing the new ball in at him rather than across him. Perhaps they were onto something in Brisbane: it has nothing to do with bowling tactics and everything to do with batting atmospherics.
There hasn’t been much visible difference between Warner the serial failure in England and Warner the untouchable force in Australia, except that in everything he does, he seems happier. (Batting for longer periods also tends to increase visibility). Sharper in his movements, livelier in his body, he is, both externally and internally, at home. I would venture to say that even if Stuart Broad opened the bowling at Adelaide with a Dukes ball, Warner would be 100 not out at lunch. A lunch of Australian food.
Conditions in Adelaide were as close as they get to English, bleak and cool with the worst kind of rain: enough to stop the cricket, not enough to fill any dams. While the drizzle made its stately way to the grass, the groundsmen circled with a dual assault of grooming rope and fierce blow-dryers, as if preparing not a cricket field but a hairdo. Periodically, new showers blew in and they abandoned all rope and blew off the blowers. The big screen showed a satellite image of rain careering in over Spencer Gulf, partly to provide evidence, partly for the novelty effect.
But this wasn’t English rain; it was Australian rain. Warner liked its feel on his forearms. In the breaks for play, he was showing his singular skill for putting bad balls away, and good balls too. Australian Kookaburra balls. No opening batsman has ever had this uncanny talent for boundary hitting, as long as that ball is bouncing off true hard Australian earth.
In Australia, even Warner’s voice carries differently. When not hitting fours, he was growling ‘No run!’ with a thrust of his bat, as if to not score was an even more aggressive act than to score.
Mohammad Abbas, whose reputation as a seam bowler had soared with every ball he did not bowl to Warner in Brisbane, was now being reduced to the futility of lived experience. You don’t bowl there to David Warner on Australian wickets? Where? You don’t bowl to him there, here, on Australian wickets.
At the other end, Marnus Labuschagne was also working at the samurai art of not scoring runs. Labuschagne had taken 38 balls to score four singles. His leaves looked definitive and defiant, and his slow progress looked very much less a struggle than the artisanal laying of a foundation.
While the Labuschagne project has crisscrossed the globe, the Warner one is becoming more and more local as the years pass, like the young adult adventurer who has seen enough of the world to decide he wants to buy a house two blocks from where he was born and never shift again. He is far from alone in preferring home conditions, and it should not be forgotten that he has prospered in other countries in various formats.
But overcoming obstacles is a different matter from doing what you love, where you love doing it. Australia might have all sorts of complicated feelings about Mr Warner, but there is not a shadow of doubt – not even an asterisk of shadows thrown by four lighting towers – about how Mr Warner feels about Australia.

David Warner has revealed he could retire from either red or white-ball cricket in the next 18 months in a bid to prolong his career in the other format.
Fresh off hitting the 10th highest score of all time against Pakistan on Saturday with an unbeaten 335, Warner did not show the signs of a 33-year-old heading into the back-end of his career.
But he’s well aware he can’t keep at it forever.
Australia’s Test schedule will thin out slightly over the next few years, but they have a busy Twenty20 calendar leading into next year’s home World Cup.
Another T20 World Cup follows shortly after in India in 2021, with Warner suggesting it’s unlikely he will continue playing all formats after that.
And the left-hander, who made his name as a T20 batsman before turning into one of Australia’s best Test players, indicated it could be the white ball that goes first.
“I haven’t really thought about it yet but I think when you play Test cricket, it’s obviously less taxing on your legs unless you’re out there all day like that,” Warner said.
“I haven’t really put any thought into what I’ll do first, whether it’s give away T20 internationals to free up some time for the Test matches.
“I think that’ll probably come around the corner after next year’s World Cup. I might have to think about it. There’s a World Cup six months after that as well.
“Something’s got to give. It’s also an opportunity for a youngster to come through. We’ve got great depth in Australian cricket.”
Warner was arguably the busiest of any Australian cricketer before the ball- tampering ban, and is still one of few players to regularly feature across all three formats.
There had been fears last year Warner would give up his Australian career to become a gun for hire on the T20 circuit.
But he shut down any suggestion of that earlier this summer, pointing out that if that was ever a consideration it would have come following the ball-tampering scandal.
He does however believe the T20 game has helped his fitness for Test cricket.
The opener was still running quick singles and coming back for twos throughout his nine hours at the crease, which included 301 trips running up and down the pitch.
“T20 cricket is high intensity,” he said.
“I go back to the IPL. I was absolutely cooked come the 7th game. I’d spent more time out on the field, in the heat, running with Jonny Bairstow.
“It was really tough and taxing. That’s really where I am now. If I had those miles in my legs, it’s helping me right now.”

Warner is a home-only player. He has made a blistering return to form, but I think most reasonable people understand this is simply because he is back on his own turf (against a bowling side low on confidence) - his entirely abortive Ashes performance cannot just be forgotten all of a sudden.
No doubt a very good player in his favoured playing conditions, but there are other openers who would be preferable when circumstances are difficult and the pressure is on away from home.

After David Warner hit the eighth Test triple century by an Australian, two cricket legends recalled their own experiences of being in the middle while greatness was being created.
Both Mark Waugh and Michael Hussey have been involved in Test matches where an Australian has reached 300. Waugh batted with Mark Taylor when he made 334 against Pakistan in 1998, and Hussey with Michael Clarke when he scored 329 against India in 2012.
Speaking on Saturday after Warner went one better than Taylor with 335, Waugh remembered how the former Australian captain overcame the physical and mental challenges to accomplish the rare feat.
“Amazingly Tubby (Taylor) was pretty good. I think your adrenaline just sort of kicks in,” Waugh told foxsports.com.au. “I don’t think he ran between wickets as hard as David Warner did for his runs. He (Warner) was amazing actually, the energy he had yesterday and today.
“Luckily it was cool weather for Warner but that’s not taking anything away from the concentration and physical fitness you need and the mental strength to keep going. That’s the test; you can be easily satisfied with a good score but David was very hungry, as was Tubby when he made his 334.
“It’s obviously very skilful to bat so well but mentally to keep going that’s the biggest challenge I think when you make score like that.”
Meanwhile, Hussey said that Clarke took little notice of the records he was closing in on and, given he was also captain, kept his mind on the team’s cause.
“We just tried to stay in the moment when we were batting. We didn’t try to look too far ahead at records,” Hussey told foxsports.com.au. “I don’t know what it was like with Davey out there, it seemed like there was a record he was passing every five minutes towards the end.
“Pup (Clarke) was more worried about being in the moment and thinking about how many we needed to declare to then try and win the Test match.
“I just felt very lucky to be at the non-striker’s end to have the best seats in the house to watch a great innings that Pup was playing that particular day.”
Warner’s 335 against Pakistan gave him the second-highest Test score by an Australian, 45 runs behind Matthew Hayden’s 380 against Zimbabwe.

Australia opener David Warner has no plans to appeal against his leadership ban stemming from the ball tampering saga.
Warner was suspended for a year and banned from ever holding another leadership position within the Australian cricket side after being found guilty of ball tampering in South Africa in 2018.
Steve Smith also copped a one-year playing ban, but was only banned from holding a leadership role for an additional year.
It means Smith will be eligible to captain the side again by April.
Warner, who was the test vice-captain at the time of the sandpaper scandal, said he wouldn't appeal his leadership ban.
"At the end of the day, you've just got to respect the decision and move on and get on with it," Warner said, ahead of Thursday's test series opener against New Zealand in Perth.
"I haven't looked back, I've just kept on looking forward. And my job is to come out and score runs.
"I didn't do well in England but it's about me trying to return to scoring runs and putting my best foot forward for the team."
When asked if he would like someone to pursue a review of the ban on his behalf, Warner replied: "No, no, I'm quite comfortable at the moment here."
Warner averaged a disastrous 9.5 during the recent Ashes series.
But he bounced back with a bang in the 2-0 series win against Pakistan, plundering scores of 154 and 335no.
Warner said those recent knocks had given him huge confidence heading into the three-test series against New Zealand. He scored four successive centuries against the Black Caps across the 2011 and 2015 series, and averages 93 from five tests against them in Australia.
"Obviously it gives you a lot of confidence but can never be complacent or comfortable," he said.
"You've got to start again. That's the beauty of this game. Whether or not you get runs or you don't, you have to get runs the next game."

his stats says he is but he really is just a flat track bully. However a great flat track bully for sure. He is not the best opener but he is indeed a great.
Hayden is better away from home but warner is superior in australia and New Zealand plus south africa due to the bouncy nature of the wickets.
Overall edge to haydos though because he was still solid at home too.
Mayank is the best opener in the world right now.

It may go slightly unnoticed in the wake of Australia's unprecedented batting blitz in Mumbai, but David Warner smashed a 28-year-old Australian record during to breathtaking century on Tuesday.
On his way to his 18th ODI hundred, Warner became the fourth-fastest man in history to score 5000 one-day international runs, reaching the mark in just his 115th ODI innings.
That puts him behind only Hashim Amla (101 innings), West Indian legend Sir Vivian Richards and Indian skipper Virat Kohli (both 114 innings) among males in one-day international cricket.
And among Australians, Warner is streets ahead of the pack, reaching the milestone well ahead of Dean Jones, who broke through 5000 runs in his 128th innings way back in 1992.
Matthew Hayden (133 innings), Michael Bevan (135) and Ricky Ponting (137) are the only other Australians to reach the mark in less than 140 innings.
Warner pushed on and finished unbeaten on 128 on Tuesday night as he and Aaron Finch (110no) shared a record-breaking 258-run stand in a crushing 10-wicket win.
Warner has spoken at length in the past about his early struggles in the 50-over format, despite making an instant impact in both Test and T20 cricket at international level.
Up to and including Australia’s 2015 World Cup triumph, the left-hander averaged less than 35 with the bat in 62 matches, scoring just four hundreds in that time.
But since that World Cup final, he has averaged almost 60 in 56 games, adding 13 more hundreds and striking at better than a run a ball.
"I think first and foremost it's probably been the format I reckon I struggled at early in my career," he said in 2016.
"The last 18-24 months I've really worked hard on trying to construct my innings and build an innings and not play too many big shots early on.
"And just relay that Test match attitude into the one-dayers because you do get a few more balls in your area in one day stuff where you can actually play through that line."
Underlining his improvement in the past five years, Warner was the equal-56th fastest man to reach 1000 career runs, equal-42nd fastest to 2000 and the 20th fastest to 3000.
But having raced from 3000 to 4000 runs in just 12 innings during a golden period in 2016-17, he’s added another 1000 runs in just more 22 innings.

Matthew Hayden (133 innings), Michael Bevan (135) and Ricky Ponting (137) are the only other Australians to reach the mark in less than 140 innings.
Warner pushed on and finished unbeaten on 128 on Tuesday night as he and Aaron Finch (110no) shared a record-breaking 258-run stand in a crushing 10-wicket win.
Warner has spoken at length in the past about his early struggles in the 50-over format, despite making an instant impact in both Test and T20 cricket at international level.
Up to and including Australia’s 2015 World Cup triumph, the left-hander averaged less than 35 with the bat in 62 matches, scoring just four hundreds in that time.
But since that World Cup final, he has averaged almost 60 in 56 games, adding 13 more hundreds and striking at better than a run a ball.
"I think first and foremost it's probably been the format I reckon I struggled at early in my career," he said in 2016.
"The last 18-24 months I've really worked hard on trying to construct my innings and build an innings and not play too many big shots early on.
"And just relay that Test match attitude into the one-dayers because you do get a few more balls in your area in one day stuff where you can actually play through that line."
Underlining his improvement in the past five years, Warner was the equal-56th fastest man to reach 1000 career runs, equal-42nd fastest to 2000 and the 20th fastest to 3000.
But having raced from 3000 to 4000 runs in just 12 innings during a golden period in 2016-17, he’s added another 1000 runs in just more 22 innings.

Warner credits 'honest conversations' and knowing 'each other's personalities' after record stand with Finch
https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/1572060
Australia opener David Warner said that his record-breaking stand with Aaron Finch, during his team's 10-wicket victory over India in the first ODI in Mumbai, was the outcome of great understanding between the duo.
Despite the potency of India's bowling attack, Australia were untroubled in their chase of 256, as Warner and Finch registered Australia's highest-ever ODI partnership against India to secure victory with 74 balls to spare. The 258 runs they put together was also the highest undefeated stand for Australia.
Warner, who was named Player of the Match for his 128* off 112 balls, featuring 17 fours and three sixes, believed that the duo were able to achieve the remarkable feat on account of their excellent understanding of each other's games, forged over 59 games of opening together since 2014.
"We complement each other on the field and we're great mates off the field as well," Warner said. "We know each other's games and personalities well. We have honest conversations. If we're playing shots that we wouldn't, we reassure each other about that.
"It's just great to go out there and play the way that we do. When he's [Finch] going, I know what my role is, and when I'm going, he knows what his role is and we communicate that straight away and that's the best thing about our partnership."
This was an especially important game for Australia, being their first ODI since their semifinal exit in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 in July. Warner said Australia were keen to set the tone after a long break from the format.
"For us, it was coming out here and making a mark, from where we left off in the World Cup...It's our first ODI this summer and it's all about trying to put clinical performances out there," the 33-year-old, who became the fastest Australian to 5000 ODI runs during the course of his knock, said. "We've got a great unit, a great bunch of guys together. We've got a great bowling unit, we've got pace, spin, and in our batting, we got great depth, power, we got guys who can work it around in the middle as well, who can accelerate. I think at the moment we've got great stability and it's good to see."
Australia will now look achieve the rare feat of securing back-to-back ODI series victories in India, when they take on the hosts in the second of three matches in Rajkot on Friday, 17 January.

That's fair. We should confiscate his passport.
