Short of runs and under pressure, David Warner entered the Boxing Day test against South Africa issuing a reminder to the doubters never to underestimate the fight of a 'housing commission boy' living the dream.

On the way to his third double-century Warner smashed his 25th hundred, and first in nearly three years, while becoming Australia's eighth player to notch 8,000 runs in tests. Warner has rarely held back after reaching a ton but there was added gusto in his celebrations as he blew kisses off his bat to his family and fans around the ground.
An embittered Warner pulled his bid to have the ban lifted, fearing it would mean having to publicly relive the darkest chapter of his rollercoaster career. Not unlike his career it was a sparkling innings of endurance and full-blooded shots - and also one moment of poor judgement. Trying to poach another run from an overthrow before lunch he ran out batting partner Marnus Labuschagne for 14.
