The first cricketer to represent Australia without a first-class match to his name..

David Warner has never shied away from going first, he has made a career out of it.

It was truly an honour to hear David's perspective on his legendary career in my latest Straight Talk. We spoke about his childhood, rise to the national cricket team, his batting approach, relationships with teammates such as Steve Smith, Shane Warne's genius, dealing with controversy, the financial side of professional cricket and now his life as a husband and father to three girls- plus much more.

This is a Straight Talk podcast you don't want to miss.
