SK Cricket Olympics: Cricketers enter the ring for a bout

David Warner (Australia)

David Warner readying himself as Joe Root takes strike

Warner entered the WBA rankings after hooking a certain Joe Root out of the pub in a brawl in England during the Ashes in 2013.

Warner is known to pack a mean punch at the top of the order, irrespective of the bowling attack or the format. In boxing terms, he is a southpaw, but he possesses a special move that makes him switch his stance and becomes a right-hander, leaving the opposition in surprise, and sometimes, a bruised eye.

With his combative batting style and quick reflexes for a pint-sized player, Warner can be a handy customer with gloves on. Or even without them.
