David Warner Regrets Having An Aggressive Nature In His Early Playing Days
ICC World Test Championship: Australia's David Warner, who recently retired from Tests and ODIs for Australia, said he regrets having an aggressive nature in his early playing days. Warner finished his Test career with 8786 runs at an average of 44.59, including 26 Test hundreds and 37 fifties, and won the ICC World Test Championship 2023 title.
The left-handed batter also made 6932 runs at an average of 45.3, with 22 ODI hundreds and 33 fifties, including winning the Men’s ODI World Cup titles in 2015 and 2023. "I would have changed early doors, I wouldn't have been that 'attack dog'. If IPL came around earlier, in my mind I found that the more I get to know people, the more I wouldn't actually go at someone.
"And I felt like I was actually directed to be that person, to go out there and attack opposition players and get under their skin. Yeah it made me play better because they came at me, but it wasn't what I've always set out to do.
