10 greatest Australian fielders of all time

Australia v South Africa - Third Test: Day 2

David Warner

England v Australia - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
1Australian vice-captain David Warner has more than proved his prowess across all formats of the game so far, excelling with the bat for, variously, Australia in Tests, ODIs, T20Is and T20 leagues.

Warner shone last year with the bat for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, leading them to a top-4 finish in the league.

However, Warner is very skilled in the field, variously at slips and more recently at mid-wicket. The Australian has strong statistics across all formats; he has 52 catches of 66 innings in Tests, 43 of 101 in ODIs.

Warner has over a 50% success rate in T20Is, taking 34 catches in 65 matches - and it speaks to his level of skill that he has found success in both the shortest and longest formats of the game.

In T20 leagues, Warner has 110 catches of 238 matches - playing for Delhi Daredevils and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL and Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League.

Interesting fact: Although talented at slips, Warner only switched to midwicket fielding after sustaining repeated thumb injuries.
