David Warner: “I Am Making Up On All the Runs That I’ve Missed Out On”

Five-times champion, Australia moves closer to the semifinals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 as they defeated Bangladesh by 48-runs. David Warner inspired the Australian innings with his second century at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 to post a mountainous score of 381 runs.

David Warner, who scored 166 runs in just 147 deliveries suggested that he was in good terms with ICC for two years.

“I was on a good behavior bond for two years, I think it was if that’s what you want to call it, with the ICC,” Warner said. “I couldn’t really do anything on the field and I’m at that point as well at the moment. It’s a different game. We’ve played so much cricket over the last 12 months with a lot of different people, especially the Bangladesh guys. Getting to know a lot of them as well has been great. It just opens your eyes to a new world. It’s just normal me now.”

David Warner is the highest run scorer of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 till now, with 447 runs. He made a comeback into the Australian squad at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 after his year-long ban due to the ball-tampering scandal. David Warner revealed that he scoring runs to make for all the runs that he has missed out on during the year-long ban.

Warner continued, “It’s just more runs that you can miss out on. For me, it’s about going out there and putting my best foot forward for the team and trying to score as many runs as I can. To make up for all the runs that I’ve missed out on and for the team.”

However,  David Warner is looking to start his innings slow in the past few matches at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

“I don’t mean to go out there and bat slow,” Warner said. “I’ve tried to get a calculation, how many fielders I’ve hit in the first 10. I got frustrated against India. I got frustrated against Afghanistan. And then today, Finchy kept telling me to hang in there and bat deep and bat time. And that was in like the eighth or ninth over. Because it’s generally not my game to stick there, and I usually try and go after it a little bit. Must be a bit more maturity, I think.”
