Perhaps he does, but he hasn't proved it yet. Every other player in the pecking order has performed over a period of time. Even Hughes (although his form over the past 18 months, other than the end of the last domestic season, has been questionable).
Warner has shown some form over the past 12 months but that doesn't mean shit. He needs to prove he can do it consistently. So, he still has a LONG way to go before he should seriously be considered for Test cricket.
I will say one thing though, I'm impressed that he has noted that he doesn't want to be pigeon-holed and wants to prove himself in the longer form. There are a lot of young players coming through now who couldn't give a shit because of the dollars on offer in Twenty20 etc.
