I think what&#39;s important is accepting and being accountable for those poor decisions,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Warner&#39;s lawyer argued that the case showed the risk people take when trying to assess whether they have drunk too much.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It doesn&#39;t matter if you&#39;re a tradesman, a doctor or one of the best opening batsmen in the world, that danger exists for every one of us.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former international opener Warner, who captains Sydney Thunder in the domestic Big Bash League, did not appear in court and has not entered a plea, local media said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>Court documents showed the next hearing was set for June 24.<\/p>\r\n",
