His blistering form has Australia in command of most matches. The recent triumph against the Kiwis saw Warner whack the ball all around the park. The 29-year-old is positive from the word go.

His recent high score is 253 with a strike rate of almost 90. His character reminds the world of Matthew Hayden and Virender Sehwag who were similar in nature. In this summer season of Australian cricket, David Warner is having the time of his life. He is undeniably the favourite to break the record of Lara.
