A dangerous opening batsman, David Warner exploded a breathtaking 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 had earned an IPL contract with Delhi Daredevils. He made his ODI debut but could not consolidate on starts and he was dropped. But he is considered to be a T20 specialist and is in Australian plans for the T20 World Cup.
