5 selfish acts involving famous cricketers

4. When David Warner scored a 140-ball 100 in the 2012 CB series final

Australia v Sri Lanka - Tri-Series Final Game 1

David Warner is one of those flamboyant cricketers who enjoys going after the bowlers. He is extremely powerful and can clear the fence with ease. He often scores at a fair clip and is destructive once he is settled in. However, this left-handed batsman once scored a 140-ball century and that too in an intense CB series final.

In 2012, playing against Sri Lanka, Australia was batting first. The pitch wasn't a tough one to bat on. Michael Clarke scored a 91-ball 117 in the same innings. Warner, who was fresh of a terrific 163 from the previous game was expected to repeat the heroics. But he could never get going and only found the fence on five occasions. He was dismissed in the 46th over and Australia only managed to put up a below-par total of 271/6.

A century from Tillakaratne Dilshan and twin half-centuries from Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene ensured that Sri Lanka won the match with more than 5 overs to spare. Warner wasn't able to accelerate at the right time resulting in a match-losing knock.
