Warner warns against complacency ahead of one-off ODI vs. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 – Cricket News Update
The hard-hitting http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301, has warned his side against complacency ahead of their one-off One Day International match against associate-team Ireland, saying that the lowly-ranked side can "blast it from ball one".
The two out-fits will clash in what is anticipated to be a one-side affair, at Belfast, Stormont on Saturday, June 23.
"They are a team that can come out and blast it from ball one,” said the 25-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823-born Warner while speaking to media reporters ahead of the only one-dayer. “We are looking forward to the challenge, we always look forward to going out
there,” he added further.
Saturday’s one-dayer will be the first official game of Australia’s three-week long tour of Ireland and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, which will also see them playing five One Day Internationals against traditional rivals, England, between June 29 and July 10.
The Kangaroos opened the itinerary in an impressive way, handing a 102-run thumping to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807 (Duckworth Lewis method involved), in the first warm-up match of the two, at Leicester, on Thursday, June 21. Warner played key role in the comprehensive
win over the English county side, with a calculated knock of 74 runs from 78 balls, before going retired out. The left-hander clubbed five fours and three sixes during the half-century knock.

"I think we have them in the T20 World Cup (in Sri Lanka in September),” said the explosive Australian opener.
The New South Wales opener hoped rain stays away in Saturday’s clash against Ireland, and they get a complete game ahead of the big challenge against England, which gets underway at Lord’s on June 29.
The 25-year-old aggressive left-handed batsman, who has so far played 26 One Day Internationals and averages 33.69, with a strike rate of 85.79, is also targeting England’s spearhead spin bowler http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 for switch shots.
"If I get the opportunity and they're willing to put http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ernest-William-Swanton-c56374 on early, I'll definitely be playing the switch-hit," said Warner.
