Warner Faces Court for Drink-Driving Charge

0:00David Warner, one of Australia's top cricketers, got hit with a drink driving charge after blowing more than twice the legal limit on Easter Sunday. Cops pulled him over during a random breath test in Marubra, Sydney's east side. The 39-year-old was driving a van, tested positive right there, got arrested, and clocked a blood alcohol level of .104 at the station. He's been captaining the Karachi kings in Pakistan super league lately, smashing 50 runs in their last match in Lahore on April 2nd, that follows a monster big bash season with Sydney Thunder, where he averaged 86.6 and earned captain of the tournament team. Fans and cricket circles are buzzing over this, especially with Warner's wild career ride. He retired from test cricket last year after piling up 8,786 runs in 112 matches at over 44, average. But he's no stranger to drama, from the ball tampering mess in South Africa to that nightclub punch on Joe Root back in 2013.

1:00Sydney Thunder stayed quiet on the whole thing, and Warner's been doing Fox Cricket commentary since hanging up his test whites. No new twist yet, just the charge sticking for now. He faces court in Downing Center local court on May 7th for the mid-range offense eyes will be on how this plays out for the batting legend.
