London: Having perished against England off-spinner Moeen Ali three times in his four innings during the current Ashes Test cricket series, Australian opening batsman David Warner on Thursday conceded it might be time to throttle back on preconceived plans to belt the tweaker out of the attack at first sight.

Warner said the tactic to put pressure on the spinner -- denying him a chance to settle into a rhythm, putting pressure on his captain to remove him from the attack and, therefore, upping the workload on the seamers -- had been a valid plan against Moeen's predecessor Graeme Swann in the previous series.
