David Warner filmed working on the building site of his new luxury home in Maroubra

Warner has traded the white collar of his cricket shirt for blue collar work on a building site ? his own building site, to be exact. The Aussie batsman ? who was banned from international and state cricket for a year for his part in the ball tampering scandal in South Africa ? is spending his free time helping build his house in the eastern Sydney suburb of Maroubra. Wearing a black singlet and white hard hat with the words ?Project Manager? and ?Apprentice Celebrity? written on it in black marker, Warner was filmed chipping in as construction continues on his beachside mansion. According to The Australian, Warner has built a property portfolio worth $10 million, and quotes him as saying in an interview two years ago: ?My financial adviser told me: ?If you have to work after cricket, I haven?t done my job properly.?? Warner purchased the 900sq m oceanfront property for $4 million in December 2015. In May 2016, a planning application was lodged to demolish the existing building and construct a new five-level home, which was approved in February 2017. It was thought Warner and wife Candice were going to move into this property and turn it into their family home. The project has been stuttering along and 14 months later is still a building site as development has been so slow moving.

David Warner?s brother-in-law charged with allegedly smashing paparazzo?s car windscreen

DAVID Warner?s brother-in-law has been charged after allegedly smashing the car window of controversial paparazzo Jayden Seyfarth with a shovel. Tim Falzon, the brother of Warner?s wife Candice, was charged with wilfully damaging and destroying property and will front court in June. The 21-year-old photographer was staking out Warner?s family home when Falzon approach the vehicle with a shovel in hand before allegedly smashing the windscreen. ?I was in disbelief. I was shocked and shaken up,? Seyfarth told Channel Seven news. The Aussie paparazzo is no stranger to controversy. Seyfarth was backlisted by Virgin Australia after a major breach of Sydney Airport security when he printed Bachelorette star Sophie Monk and her then partner Stu Laundy?s boarding passes and waited for the couple in the Virgin lounge. ?Virgin Australia considers the safety, security and comfort of all of our guests and staff as our top priorities, and ?regards any incident that compromises these values as a serious matter,? the airline?s Group Security team wrote in a letter sent to Seyfarth.?Virgin Australia reserves the right to refuse carriage of any person for any reason as per the terms and conditions listed on our website.?As a result of your behaviour, it is our intention to exercise this right and deny you carriage on all services provided by the Virgin Australia Group of Airlines indefinitely.?

Leading Run Scorer in ODI since 1st January 2015

There is no doubt that David Warner is a destructive batsman; however despite making his ODI debut 3 years before his Test debut, he was never the accomplished ODI opener and was more successful at test level. That is quite ironic given his style of play, but his record shows how he excelled in tests and never really did as well in ODIs in the initial part of his career. In 42 ODIs since the start of 2015, Warner has amassed over 2,000 runs at a phenomenal average of 58.6. He smashed 10 centuries during this period and 6 half centuries. Warner is averaging almost double of what he did in his first 5 years of ODIs, in ODIs over the past 2 years. He has taken his ODI average from 31.4 at the end of 2014 to just over 43. His turnaround has been so awesome that he is the leading run scorer in all ODIs played in the past two years, since 1st January 2015. No one has scored more runs or more centuries in ODIs than Warner has in the past two years; and only AB de Villiers has a higher average and strike rate than he does.
