Australia's attacking, free stroking opener David Warner has had it great since he made his comeback into the game after a year's hiatus. He has been instrumental in his team's rapid improvement in T20Is with some stellar performances in the home series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

A lot of talk before this year's Ashes was about David Warner's poor record away from home in Tests. And sadly, that tag will continue to stay after his dismal showing in England where he couldn't accumulate a total of 100 runs in the series. Stuart Broad and Jofra Archer had his measure, exposing his technical issues against the moving ball.

Warner would be looking forward to silencing critics with some impressive performances in the home summer. He has got the backing of his team and coach Justin Langer, which must make it easier for him to get back into form.

3698 runs in 38 games at an outstanding average of 59.65 at home suggests that he prefers these conditions. The question is how soon can the dynamic batsman get into scoring form in whites.
