It's been a torrid 24 hours for David Warner, with the opener unable to banish his off-field woes with an underwhelming knock against the West Indies.
Fresh from an explosive statement in which he withdrew his appeal against his lifetime captaincy ban, Warner arrived at the Adelaide Oval with a point to prove.
The 36-year-old revealed that the Review Panel wished to conduct a full inquest into his role in the sandpaper scandal which rocked Australian sport, accusing authorities of seeking a 'public lynching'.

But instead of silencing his critics with a sumptuous knock, Warner went out with a whimper against the tourists on Thursday, being dismissed for 21 runs as the Australians looked to win their two-match Test series.
Biting at a Alzarri Joseph delivery wide of off stump, the opener failed to get a clean hit on the ball, which clipped the edge of his bat and sailed into Joshua Da Silva's hands.
As he trudged off the pitch, Warner was seen ripping his gloves off in fury, angered by the nature of his cheap dismissal amid a turbulent past few hours.
On Thursday, Warner's manager James Erskine accused cricket officials of giving players permission to tamper with the ball.
