Hobart: One of the most gifted youngsters, David Warner, is all set to play his first One-Day international on Sunday against the Proteas after being picked to replace Micheal Clarke, who was ruled out of the on-going series with a finger injury.

The star of the opening Twenty20 match with a cracking 89, Warner, was kept as cover for Clarke before being sent home to Sydney on Thursday when the vice-captain appeared to recover from a problem sustained during the Perth Test but now could be a quick solution to their opening problems.

The vice-captain will now look towards the five-game series against New Zealand starting next month.

Albie Morkel showed in Melbourne he is a man capable of champagne moments, he make 40 from 18 deliveries after claim two wickets. A committed South African chase provided serious excitement at the start of the five-game series as the visitors sneaked to a three-wicket success in Melbourne on Friday. After Australia posted a confident 271/8, Proteas men recovered from being 221/7 to end their sequence of three defeats in a row.

Warner is expected to open the batting with another exciting new comerShaun Marsh while Michael Hussey, who opened with Marsh at Melbourne, is expected to come lower down the order.
