I know it is a big call on Warner but given the opportunity he could well be a star. Jayasuria when younger was very similar to Warner. He would take to the bowling in all forms of cricket at more often than not it came off for him. They are even very similar in stature.

FAIL.
The only similarity between Jayasuriya and Warner is that they have both opened the batting and are Homo Sapien.
That's it.
Like I mentioned Australia has a glut of good batsmen ready to go in all forms of cricket-its the bowling department they are having trouble with

The Island off our West Coast also does quite well at netball but it appears they have a big red cloud over large areas as native spirits get their own back perhaps.

That's because you don't know your cricket well enough.
