The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils in the Indian Premier League, who told him that he could be a good player in the longer
format of the game rather than a Twenty20 player.
"He [Sehwag] told me two years ago he saw me as a better four-day player than Twenty20 player,'' said Warner while talking to a leading Australian sports journal.
''He said, 'If you play with your freedom, and your shot selection is correct and your decision-making's good, you're always going to score runs in that form of the game if conditions favour you,” he added further.
The 24-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 cricketer was considered to be a good limited-overs player. After debuting in the limited overs format of international cricket in January 2009, Warner had played only four first-class matches for his
state with a highest score of only 48 runs.
He scored his maiden first-class century against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Victoria-c859, where he was sacked at 99.
The right-handed opening batsman’s effort got Cricket Australia selectors nod as he got a call up to the Australia A squad for a four-day series.
Warner has played seven One Day Internationals and 25 Twenty20 Internationals for Australia and is yet to debut in the Test format. He said that he was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arthur-Percival-Day-c45927 to be acknowledged for the last couple of games he played for New South Wales
in the 2010-11 Sheffield Shield tournament.
''It's recognition for myself that they're actually looking at me as a Test player,” said the right hander. “I can last the distance, and mentally I can be patient enough to tackle that format of the game. It's good I scored runs and
showed some people,” he added further.
National selector, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gregory-Stephen-Chappell-c60820, has also expressed confidence in Warner as a Test player and hoped he can improve his game in the longest format of cricket.
Warner’s New South Wales skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-H-Clarke-c91461, also believes the batsman has the potential to remove the tag of a short-format specialist by proving himself in the first-class cricket.
