Swashbuckling opener David Warner is buoyant about Australia’s chance of lifting the title for the fifth time in the ICC World Cup 2015 and has said that their recently concluded tri-series win, where they remained unbeaten throughout, will send a message to the other competing teams in the event.
Warner said:
“We can’t be too complacent, we’ve got to keep backing ourselves, and this tri-series was a great message to the rest of the world coming out here that we mean business.”
Warner, who would be playing his first World Cup, made it clear that the team is not carrying extra baggage of expectations of being the home team for the tournament and also said that the team would be focusing on winning one game at a time if they have to win the world cup.
“People think there’s a lot of expectation and pressure on us but we don’t see that at all. We see it as another game and we’ve got to win every game to win that World Cup.
“I know me and Finchy (fellow opener Aaron Finch) have spoken about it as opening batsmen that we can really dominate and see a clear message that we mean business,” Warner added.
