SYDNEY: David Warner scored an unbeaten 155 in his side’s thrilling last-ball win, while former test captain Steve Smith made 85 for his Sutherland club as the suspended duo enjoyed strong returns to club cricket in Sydney on Saturday.
Smith and Warner were banned for a year from international and state cricket for their involvement in a ball-tampering scandal and still have another six months to serve.
They are continuing their rehabilitation in the new Sydney club cricket season, which got underway this weekend.
The diminutive Warner could not have hoped for a better return, scoring a match-winning knock for Randwick-Petersham, who won by four wickets off the last ball while chasing 278 against St George.
Their Cricket Australia bans will expire on March 28. (Reuters)
