David Sygall writes in the Sun-Herald about how David Warner got his chance to star during Australia’s limited-overs campaigns this season.

Some time after today's final match of Australia's international season at home, David Warner will buy Dominic Thornely a drink. He might also say to his NSW captain words to the effect of: “Thanks Mate. You changed my life."

Thornely will be watching today's Twenty20 match between Australia and New Zealand satisfied in the knowledge that his and Brad Haddin's insistence that Warner open the batting in New South Wales' one-dayers earlier this season presented him with the opportunity to make his name.

In the Sunday Telegraph Kerry O’Keefe, the former Test legspinner, makes some predictions for the Ashes.
