Cricket lovers are in ardent agreement that Australia needs new blood. David Warner is the comeback that nobody wants.
When David Warner declared his availability to play for Australia this summer – the second time he has done so since retiring in January, by the way – more than a few minds were cast back to the years between 2008 and 2013.
Here’s Warne in 2012, when his close friend Michael Clarke was Test captain and Nathan Lyon was still finding his feet in international cricket: “For me, it’s not a matter of whether I could do it or not – I have absolutely no doubt if I wanted to commit to try to make a comeback and go through grade cricket, first-class cricket and try to get selected ... that I could do it.”
It was the national selectors who hung onto Warner, valuing his rare batting talent and ability to change games as an aggressive opener, in the face of a wave of negative public sentiment.As Warner acknowledged in the News Corp interview, he got no traction with Australian coach Andrew McDonald.
