Start of good Form

Warner scored 163 off 157 balls at the Gabba on 4 March 2012 in the first final of the CB Series against Sri Lanka. He batted until the last ball of the innings. It was his first ODI hundred for Australia.

He followed it up with 100 and 48 in the other two finals at the Adelaide Oval. Warner’s aggregate of 311 runs was the highest ever for the finals of an Australian tri-series, surpassing Greg Chappell’s 266 runs in 1981.

Ball-tampering incident and suspension

On the morning of 25 March 2018, during the same match, Smith and Warner were forced to step down as captain and vice-captain of the Australian team, but still took to the field, after the ICC found Smith guilty of being “party to a decision to attempt to change the condition of the ball”. 

The day before, opening batsman Cameron Bancroft was seen using yellow sandpaper for ball tampering during South Africa’s second innings. Smith had admitted that the “leadership group” had discussed ball tampering during the lunch break, but did not name those involved.

Cricket Australia launched a separate investigation into the incident as a matter of urgency, led by Executive general manager Team Performance Pat Howard, along with Senior Legal Counsel and Head of Integrity Iain Roy. Their interviews of players and support staff began on 26 March 2018. 

CA CEO James Sutherland joined the investigators in South Africa. On 27 March 2018, before the findings of that investigation were handed down, specialist opening batter Matt Renshaw was urgently recalled to the squad from Australia for the Fourth Test.

In April 2018, Surrey head coach and former Australian cricketer Michael Di Venuto stated that he would be open to David Warner and Steven Smith playing for his county team.

Return to international cricket

In April 2019, he was named in Australia’s Squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup. After missing 2018–19 season, Warner was awarded a national contract by Cricket Australia for the 2019–20 season. On 1 June 2019, Warner played in Australia’s opening match of the Cricket World Cup, against Afghanistan, at the Country Ground in Bristol and was awarded player of the match for scoring 89 not out off 114 balls. 

He was also named player of the match in Australia’s third match against Pakistan. Here he made 107, his first century on returning to international cricket. On 20 June 2019, in the match against Bangladesh, Warner scored 166 runs, becoming the first batsman to score two 150+ scores in the Cricket World Cup. Nine days later, in the match against New Zealand, Warner scored his 13,000th run in international cricket. 

He finished the tournament as the leading run-scorer for Australia and with 647 runs in ten matches, he also finished as the second highest run-scorer in the entire tournament behind Rohit Sharma.

On 27 December, Warner scored a double century in the second Test in the series against South Africa, this was Warner’s first test ton since Jan 2020. 

A day with many milestones, Warner passed 8000 test runs on this day, he also became the first Australian since Ricky Ponting to score a century and only the second batsman to score a double century in his 100th test match.

Playing style

Warner is known for his aggressive left-handed batting style favoring the aerial route and for his ability to switch hit, using the back of his bat or by taking a right-handed stance. He prefers to score on his off side, and has a very high strike rate as a Test batsman. 

In all of his Test centuries (as of 26 December 2017), he had never had a strike rate of below 52.5, and only 3 of below 72.

He is an athletic fielder and also a part-time spin bowler. His bowling style is rare in that he mixes medium-pace bowling with his more usual leg spin bowling. At 170 cm in stature, Warner generates his batting power from strong forearms and his low centre of gravity allows him to get underneath deliveries and hit them high in the air.

In a Twenty20 match for New South Wales in 2009, he hooked a six off Shaun Tait that landed on the roof of the Adelaide Oval, only a month after hooking the same bowler 20 rows back at the SCG.

Controversies

On 12 June 2013, Warner was dropped for Australia’s second match in 2013ICC Champions Trophy match against New Zealand following an attack on Joe Root. The event happened hours after Saturday’s loss to England at Edgbaston. According to the sports journalist Pat Murphy, the incident took place at 2 am at the Walkabout bar in the centre of Birmingham, UK.

On 13 June 2013, Cricket Australia announced that Warner was to be fined £7,000 (AU $11,500) and would not play for his country until the first Ashes Test on 10 July 2013. Warner subsequently missed the rest of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and the tour matches against Somerset and Worcestershire.

On 4 March 2018, during tea in the 1st Test in Durban, Warner was involved in an altercation with South African Wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock. De Kock had allegedly made a vulgar comment about Warner’s wife Candice Warner fired back at De Kock and was restrained by teammates Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith. 

Warner was charged with a Level 2 Offence and bringing the game to disrepute by the International Cricket Council and was given three demerit points and was fined 75% of his match fee.

On 22 March 2018, after being dismissed in the first innings of the Third test of this series held in Cape Town, Warner responded to baiting from a spectator which escalated into an unsavoury heated exchange as he walked to the dressing room. The spectator was subsequently ejected from the ground.

He later commented on social media platform Instagram that he would no long be part of the team for the remainder of the season. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s assistant coach at that time Brad Haddin later revealed that the decision to drop him was not a cricket decision.
