5 batters who played aggressively in Test cricket before 'Bazball' was a thing

1. David Warner (Australia)

Team Australia dynamic opener David Warner has been one of the most dangerous batters going around in the international arena for more than a decade now. The left-handed batter looks extremely comfortable against pace bowling and plays spin bowling decently as well.

Warner made his Test debut against New Zealand in Brisbane in 2011 and since then he has been an integral part of Australia’s Test team. Opening the innings for his team, Warner has proved his mettle in different playing conditions and has given many match-winning knocks.

Speaking about Warner’s numbers in the longest format of the game, the left-handed batter has played 96 matches and has already scored 7817 runs at an excellent average of 46.52. Warner plays at an explosive strike rate of 71.29 in the red-ball format with 24 centuries and 34 fifties to his name so far.
