Aus vs Ind: Injured Warner Targeting Boxing Day Test Return

Star Australian batsman David Warner Thursday said he was aiming to play the Boxing Day Test against India in Melbourne, calling his injury-enforced absence from the opening clash in Adelaide "devastating".

Warner limped out of Australia's second one-day international against the tourists last month in agony after straining his groin.
