"When you come to a series like Australia against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 you're playing for your countries. The competition on the field is exactly what it is. We are all about playing for Australia, they are all about playing for India," said Warner.
"There is always be going to be a bit of banter on the field and then off the field you're going to be mates. That's the way it should be. You've got to be http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 on the field and saints off it," he further added.
