Australia opener David Warner exorcises Ashes demons after Sheffield Shield century

The 32-year-old admits he is over his troubles in England and is fully focused on returning to form now the domestic season is underway

David Warner has come to terms with his failures during the Ashes for Australia and has wasted little time conquering the demons from that harrowing series in England.

Having scored just 95 runs across 10 innings and been dominated by Stuart Broad - who dismissed him seven times during the five Tests - the 32-year-old is eager to return to form amid familiar surroundings.

And he got off to the perfect start in the Sheffield Shield, scoring 125 for New South Wales in their opener against Queensland in Brisbane in his first domestic red-ball outing since his year-long ban for his part in the ball-tampering affair.

The silver-lining for Warner amid his own troubles came as Australia retained the urn following a 2-2 series draw. Following one of the most difficult periods in his career, Warner has made peace with his rotten streak.

"Me and Harry [Marcus Harris] spoke about it," he said. "What can you do? If it's in your first 10 balls and you get a good one, you can't do anything.

"I spoke to Broady about the one he bowled me at Lord's and he said to me it's probably one of the best balls he's ever bowled, up the slope and nipping back in, it's very difficult to do that repeatedly. I look back at that and just forget about it."

Warner added: "It was pleasing to hear Broady, the way he spoke about how he was trying to get me out.

"You can't generally play for the one that nips back because he's actually just trying to bowl scramble seam and hoping one comes back. 

"All my hard work was for the ball going away from my bat and to his credit he bowled extremely well.

"He pitched the ball up [much more] than his [overall] career, he had to go work on a lot of things, and credit to him he's bowled fantastically to left-handers over the last 18 months."
