In the past year Warner has played 11 One-Day Internationals (ODIs), scoring 406 runs at 36.90 without scoring a century.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Compare those figures with his Test numbers during the same period - nine Tests, 1,209 runs at 67.16 with seven centuries.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">But Cummins backed his NSW Blues teammate to have a breakout tournament when asked who the most dangerous player in Australia&#39;s 15-man World Cup squad is.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It&#39;s obviously a big tournament for him. I think you saw the form he was in this summer,&quot; Cummins told Cricket Australia (CA) website in Canberra.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;And he&#39;s opening the batting, so he&#39;s going to get a chance to bat big every single innings he plays. I know speaking to him he thinks he&#39;s got some things to prove in one-day cricket, so I expect some things from him.&quot;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">While Warner is a certain starter at the top of the order, Cummins&#39; place in the team is less assured.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Australia&#39;s 15-man squad contains four specialist fast bowlers, plus medium pace allrounders Shane Watson, Mitchell Marsh and James Faulkner.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Watson, Faulkner and Mitchell Johnson are considered to be in Australia&#39;s best eleven, leaving the trio of Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood to fight it out for the remaining two fast bowling spots.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">But Cummins says the overabundance of quicks will work to Australia&#39;s advantage in conditions that will suit express pace bowling.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;The good thing is all the quick bowlers are very quick bowlers,&quot; said Cummins.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;We can all run in and try and hit the deck and bowl quite quick. On Australian wickets, the WACA and a couple of other grounds that we play at are nice and fast for us and we can run in and try and bowl as fast as we can.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;I think that&#39;s going to be our biggest strength in the bowling, having three or four quick guys in the side.&quot;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
