David Warner is a bit like marmite. You either love him or you hate him, and there are certainly quite a few who have a negative opinion about him. Much of that comes from his controversial on-field behaviour, and the way he conducts himself on the field. That came to a fore with the ball tampering scandal in South Africa last year, which saw him banned from cricket for a year.

Whatever you think of his attitude, you can’t deny his talent. Very few people doubted that he could succeed in Test cricket when he was first picked in 2011, based solely on his T20 exploits, but he has certainly proved those people wrong. He has scored 7,088 runs since making his debut in 2011, scoring 23 hundreds in that time. This included a best of 335 not out against Pakistan earlier this year, the second highest score by an Australian.
