    "editor1": "<p>Brisbane, Nov 22 -&nbsp;Determined to play the opening Ashes Test at the Gabba, Australia vice-captain David Warner, nursing a stiff neck, is considering adopting the unorthodox front-on stance of West Indian great Shivnarine Chanderpaul.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWarner, who twinged his neck while taking a high catch on the Gabba outfield on Tuesday, suggested light-heartedly that he could even emulate the Carribean southpaw&#39;s stance to make it to the playing XI.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWhile all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was drafted in to the squad as a cover for Warner on the eve of the match, it looks highly unlikely that the southpaw will miss out on Thursday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAustralia skipper Steven Smith on Wednesday said he had no doubt his vice-captain will be cleared to play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/preview-australia-england-gear-up-for-ashes-2017-18-battle-32554\">Ashes 2017-18 Preview<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Davey is going well. He had a hit just before and he&#39;s very confident. He said he&#39;ll be right to go,&quot; Smith said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn Warner&#39;s comment about adopting Chanderpaul&#39;s stance, Smith said: &quot;He said he&#39;ll even bat like Shivnarine Chanderpaul if he has to and face the other way, so I think he&#39;ll be alright.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It&#39;s improved a fair bit over the last 24 hours. Hopefully he can keep improving and he&#39;ll be 100 percent come 10 o&#39;clock in the morning,&quot; the skipper added.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWarner had a 30-minute net session at the Gabba on Wednesday, facing some throwdowns from assistant coach John Davison.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
