David the Lionheart

Chloe Saltau in the Age writes, that for some, Australia's David Warner is one of the world's most exciting batsmen. To others, he symbolises a cricket world gone mad, a world in which, as Tasmania batsman Ed Cowan puts it in a new book, "you can be paid a lot more for not being as good as you used to have to be''. Warner knows he is viewed, sometimes scorned, as a short-form specialist, and it's a perception he is trying to change.
