David Warner gave the Australian camp a scare ahead of Thursdays' opening Ashes test by hurting his neck during a fielding drill but the opening batsman is confident he will be fit to face England at the Gabba. Australia's vice-captain felt a twinge in his neck as he ran back to take a catch on Tuesday and immediately left the field to receive treatment. "My neck is quite stiff," Warner told reporters afterwards. "I took a high ball out there and something just twinged in my neck. I'm getting a bit of physio treatment at the moment and hopefully it's settled down over the next 24 or 48 hours.
