It's not unusual for David Warner to have a blow up – just ask Indian trio Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Varun Aaron – though on this occasion it had Michael Clarke in stitches rather than damage control. Undaunted by the gaze of several local and Indian TV crews, not to mention a throng of Australian and international media, Warner opened his press conference after his big hundred in Perth by belching straight into a microphone, much to the amusement of Clarke, seated alongside him, and many reporters. He had us all going again minutes later when he pumped up one of Afghanistan's bowlers. "I thought that the way they came back, not sure what the guy's name is, but he got up to about 140, 145 clicks and he was bowling yorkers, and it surprised me a little bit," Warner said. We think he was referring to Hamid Hassan. "I can't say his name, I don't know it, it's hard to pronounce," Warner jested, sparking another round of laughter.
