David Warner brushed aside Stuart Broad threat ahead of fourth Test in Ashes 2023

Australia's opening batter David Warner has been dismissed by Stuart Broad 17 times since the two met each other for the first time in 2013. In the 2013 Ashes in England, Broad got him out only once. Three months later in Australia, he got out Warner four times during what was a nightmarish series down under for Three Lions. After this, the England pacer had to wait for five years to pick the wicket of Warner.

The T20 World Cup 2010 winner had no success against the two-time World Cup winner for Australia in the 2015 and 2017-18 Ashes. However, The 36-year-old's real nemesis started in the 2019 Ashes. In that series, Broad took out Warner seven times, and two-time in the 2021-22 series. In the ongoing series too, Warner has been out to Broad thrice.

"I don't really think about the match-up," Warner said on the Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club podcast.

"You think about the ball that's coming at you, how you are going to score. He bowls in a great area all the time.

"I always love facing Broady. We have two left-handed opening batters and he is one of, if not the best bowler to left-handers in today's game. He is so good at it.

"Jimmy (Anderson) is there as well. These are guys we have watched and played against for a long time."

I feel like I am in great touch: David Warner

The left-hander added that he is great touch but can't do much about extremely good deliveries.

"I feel like I am in great touch," Warner said. "I have felt good in the nets, leading in I had good sessions against our quicks at Beckenham (before the series).

"Lord's was probably the best I've batted in the last two years. Just holding my line.

"We have batted in probably the toughest conditions so far. In Leeds, I got two good balls.

"You can't do too much about that ... You just have to take it on the chin, can't do anything about it."
