Batting sensation David Warner is looking forward to unleashing his swashbuckling game again for Australia in Tuesday night’s second Twenty20 match against South Africa at the Gabba.
Warner blazed 89 off 43 balls against the Proteas on Sunday night at the MCG, which laid the foundations for a 52-run Australian victory.
It also set the spark for crazy scenes at Melbourne Airport on Monday morning as the rookie NSW opener, shielded by Cricket Australia staff, was mobbed by television cameras and reporters.
On arriving in Brisbane, Warner said he was stunned by the reaction and felt like he was still living a dream almost 24 hours later.
“Massively, massively, it’s all a dream at the moment,” he told reporters on Monday at the Australian team hotel.
Now in line for a one-day international call-up, Warner played down his chances of meeting South Africa in the five-match 50-over series which starts in Melbourne on Friday.
But he was excited about getting the chance to belt the Proteas bowling again on the fast and bouncy Gabba wicket.
“I don’t mind the Gabba,” Warner said. “(It’s) short straight so it’s in my zones and if anything is there I’m still going to play my natural game and hopefully have another good night out.”
