    "editor1": "<p><strong>Cape Town, Feb 25:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;David Warner is &quot;overwhelmed&quot; by the response he and Steve Smith have got from South African fans on their return to the country for the first time since the ball-tampering scandal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The pair reached Cape Town on Monday ahead of the T20 series decider on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;ve pretty much been overwhelmed by the support we&#39;ve had from the fans,&quot; Warner said after Australia&#39;s T20 loss at St George&#39;s Park on Sunday as quoted by www.cricket.com.au.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The fans were just outstanding, they were very respectful. I didn&#39;t cop anything on the fence, the kids were yelling out for autographs and we obliged as we always do. It was a great atmosphere.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Warner later told reporters that their T20 World Cup preparations on home soil are on track.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We are definitely on track. You go back 18 months ago, even further back than that, people weren&#39;t even rating us as a top five ranked team. But given the schedule, it was difficult to put out our best team all the time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But over the last 18 months we&#39;ve established a really strong side, and we&#39;ve consistently put out our best team every time we&#39;ve played, and I think we&#39;ve focused very well on the World Cup,&quot; he told reporters on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Aussies had won eight games in a row before losing to South Africa by 12 runs in Port Elizabeth on Sunday which levelled the three match series 1-1 going into Wednesday&#39;s final match at Newlands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We&#39;ve got a great balance in our team right now. There is a lot of credit due to the bowling unit, especially the two spinners (Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa) who&#39;ve really worked well together. Finchy (captain Aaron Finch) has used the bowlers at the right time as well, so we are being led in the right direction,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Our batting speaks for itself. We have great depth there and I feel we are very experienced... We don&#39;t rely on one or two players. We&#39;ve got 11 match winners and that&#39;s the exciting thing about it.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
