On 13th June 2013, the board announced that Warner was to be fined £7,000 (AU $11,500) and would not play for his country until the first Ashes Test on 10th July, 2013. The event happened hours after Saturday's loss to England at Edgbaston. It later emerged that he had tried to punch Joe Root. On 12th June 2013, Warner was dropped for Australia's second match in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy game against New Zealand for disciplinary reasons. Warner’s aggressive touch at the top of the order was in full flow once again when he creamed a superb 119 against a top notch South African attack at the Adelaide Oval in 2012. If the knock in Hobart was full of grit and determination, he showed another side of his batting abilities when he blasted a listless Indian bowling attack to all parts of the WACA during a stunning career-best knock of 180. He belied expectations and became the 13th Australian opener to carry his bat through an innings. After a modest debut at the Gabba, Warner came into his own with a career-defining century in Hobart. Already a regular in the ODI line-up, Warner made his Test debut against New Zealand in the Australian summer of 2011. With a slot opening up in the Australian Test squad, Warner was one among the many choices. He continued to impress in the T20 format of the game, and was one of the few bright spots during Australia's first round exit in the 2009 edition of the World T20 in England. However, as the ODIs progressed, his form dipped and he was axed before forcing his way back into the side. An aggressive 69 in just his second ODI seemed to confirm the rare talent of Warner.
With T20 success, he made his ODI debut against the South Africans in Hobart. The innings was all the more remarkable due to its timing, coming as it did after a morale-shattering home Test series loss for Australia in 2008-09.
David Warner had one of the most memorable debuts in international cricket, when he was plucked from obscurity - without having played a single First-Class match - and made a stunning 89 off 43 balls in a T20l against South Africa.
