Australia's latest Twenty20 sensation, David Warner, wants to give something back to his parents who spent thousands for the sake of his cricket. Now armed with an IPL contract, his ambition is to move his folks from a Housing Commission estate in the Sydney suburb of Matraville to their dream home, which he wants to fund. Read on in the Daily Telegraph.
"Cricket is expensive. Back then, they were paying $400 for a decent bat. As a kid, you go to the store and pick a bat: `I want this one, I want this one.' My parents never complained. Whatever I picked, they let me have. Now I want to give something back to them.''
