Warner a potential leader says Mickey Arthur – Cricket News Update
Australian head coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969 has lauded opener, David Warner by stating that his work ethics make him an ideal player to lead the Kangaroos team in the future.
The 25-year-old opening batsman’s meteoric rise seems no stopping, following his blistering ton against India in the third Test match at Perth. The left-hander scored a sublime 180 which paved way for his team’s easy victory by an innings margin.
With him cementing his place through his aggressive stroke play, it has provided the Kangaroos another player in the mould of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 and Chris Gayle’s of the world, who could be offensive yet embrace the longer version with limited difficulty.
While skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 praised Warner for his no nonsense approach, Arthur has gone one step further by admitting that he sees the opener as a future leader.
"Davey has leadership potential. He has the ability to lead any Australian team in any form of the game at some stage," Arthur said. "Whether that's in the next couple of weeks or whether that's in a year or five years time I'm not sure.
While replacing current skipper Michael Clarke remains a long shot for the time being, the words from the head coach firmly suggest that the 25-year-old could be in line to become a potential successor to Cameron White, the T20 captain.
White’s own form has seen him fall behind the pecking order in eyes of the selectors after being axed from the fifty-over squad following poor showings in the World Cup 2011. He however, was retained as the skipper in the T20 format but his form in the ongoing
Big Bash has been appalling, where he has failed to make a double digit score in six outings.

closely with him.
"He has a very good cricket brain. He leads a lot by example. He trains the house down. The perceptions that everybody had of David Warner and the reality of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 the person are poles apart," added Arthur.
