David Warner As PM? All Hell Breaks Loose With The Oz Dasher Keen On Entering Politics

Arguably one of the most destructive opening batsman in the world, David Warner leaning into a drive or jumping in the air to celebrate his ton hightlights the aggressive brand of cricket the Australian brings to the table. For someone who was initially labelled as a limited-overs slogger, Warner, over the years, has scored runs in all formats to prove what a thrilling prospect he is for the baggy green. Whether it's his batting or personal life, Warner is a hard man to hold down. If his bat isn't doing the talking, his mouth probably is, and either way, you can expect an assertive approach. The Australian opener, who currently jumps at every opportunity he gets to lead the national side, has now revealed his plans for life after cricket. © BCCL For a cricketer who continues to grow in stature with every game, the 31-year-old probably shocked his fans and the cricket world after he flagged the possibility of a career in politics after retirement. "After cricket, I wouldn't mind doing something," Warner told The Final Word podcast. "One thing that has been embedded in me since a young age is that I grew up in a housing commission. As a kid, I had to do everything at home with my brother just because my parents worked all the time. So whether it was dishes, ironing - all the normal things you do at home. Once I was able to go and work, I went and worked because we needed that money coming in to pay the bills. Me and my brother both paid a bit of rent when we were younger and I just liked looking out for anyone who was close to me," Warned said. The Australian southpaw played an influential public role in the 2017 pay dispute between Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers Association. Following his stint there, Warner has said he is interested in looking towards making a difference in politics after his playing days are over. © BCCL "During the dispute, it was a tough situation, you had your employers who were going up against our union and the players. So, I thought I needed to have a stance somewhere because at the end of the day, I want to play cricket for my country but for us to get a result or something in the middle - a happy medium - we had to fight for that. I am a believer in what I believe in. So, that was our belief, to get what we wanted. I sit back now and go, 'I probably regret how the situation was played out in the media.' And we do as players. But, if you believe in something you are going to have to fight for it and I wasn't going to stand down because we needed someone out there to speak about it. You can sit back and do what you like but you don't get anywhere unless someone speaks up and does something," he added. Well, we aren't sure if Warner's political career will be as glorious as his stint in cricket, but the prospect of Davey in a potentially new avatar did get social media excited. pic.twitter.com/bjm9Jx6T1Q — Vijay Singh ð®ð³ (@The_Rajput1) February 27, 2018 r there people like Nawaz Sharif in Australia? — Sachu™ (@CareNotNot) February 27, 2018 hope he doesn't marry 3rd time at 65 ð pic.twitter.com/NmY0O6rixj — Salman ðµð° (@Faisalabaddiii) February 27, 2018 He can join Pakistani politics. — Baks Ali Punjwani (@Bakhtawar29) February 27, 2018 Australia in general or just this? — Charlie Reynolds (@cwjreynolds) February 27, 2018 pic.twitter.com/OuvGyaRfLQ — Corey Norris (@coreynorris9) February 27, 2018 Oh my God this is fucking classic from Davey. — Nick Evans (@NickRoseyboy) February 27, 2018
