A diminutive and explosive opening batsman, David Warner tasted state cricket for the first time in 2006-07 with two limited-overs and three Twenty20 appearances. He proved a capable striker of the ball but failed to grasp his opportunities fully. He did that two years later when he started the season in explosive fashion with a New South Wales one-day record of 165, and followed it with 97 from 54 balls in the FR Cup. Once he showed the innings were not one-offs, he was elevated to the Australia Twenty20 squad for matches against South Africa. During an eventful couple of months he also earned an IPL contract with Delhi Daredevils and a deal to use a two-sided bat.
An excellent fieldsman, Warner was used as a substitute in Australia's Test against South Africa in Perth in 2005-06. In the same season he was the leading run-scorer on the Australia Under-19 tour of India and went on to play at the Under-19 World Cup. A keen surfer, Warner completed his second year as a New South Wales rookie in 2007-08 after spending his winter at the Academy. He picked up an unbeaten 50 in his only FR Cup game that season, played four Twenty20 affairs and was promoted to a full deal following 760 grade runs at 54.29 with Easts.

I wanted Hopes to open with Warner .. mentioned it before squad was picked .. Mind you, Hayden would be better than Marsh.
