adminAUSTRALIA Test batsman David Warner fell three runs short of scoring the first double century in Australian domestic one-day cricket.
The New South Wales opener hit 20 fours and 10 sixes in making 197 off 144 balls in yesterday’s win over Victoria in the Ryobi Cup 50-over competition.
He beat the previous domestic record of 187, scored by Jimmy Maher in 2004. Warner (26) has now scored three centuries in his past four matches ahead of the forthcoming Ashes series.
He was left out of his country’s limited-overs squads for the current tour of India and his international career has been disrupted by a series of disciplinary offences.-AP.
