5 attacking batsmen who have better records in Tests than ODIs

2) David Warner

Warner is also a surprise inclusion in the list

The southpaw who started his career as a swashbuckling player, specialising in ODIs and T20s in particular, turned his career around, on the lines of Sehwag, someone he dearly respects and acknowledges often.

Warner who has the seventh fastest 100 in Test cricket scored in 69 balls boasts of the fourth highest strike-rate in Test cricket for anyone with over 2,000 runs – 76.92. He still has an amazing conversion ratio with 16 centuries and 20 half-centuries.

The Australian has scored 4,506 runs in just 51 Tests at an average of 50.06, the hallmark of a truly great player. His ODI average is 39.15, which is a tad low for someone who bats up the order.

Warner made his Test debut way back in 2011 but had a few initial hiccups before he made his place permanent coming back from a suspension following a brawl. Warner is one of the most complete players on the circuit, capable of playing shots around the ground, both conventional as well as unconventional.
