'Despicable', says cricket chief as he puts Warner and team on notice Out of action: Michael Clarke and David Warner face the media after Warner's pub fracas. Cricket Australia has had enough of David Warner's antics and a defective team environment that saw him intoxicated and brawling in a Birmingham pub at 2.30am. It was a steaming CA chief executive James Sutherland who fronted media in Brisbane to fire a rocket at the troubled opening batsman, suspended for a month and fined $11,500 after his altercation with England batsman Joe Root. Sutherland did not stop with Warner either, putting the wider team on notice to shape up as they enter a five-Test Ashes series in which they start heavy underdogs. Warner was not given an official final warning but the ice on which he skates is paper thin. He will miss the rest of the Champions Trophy and tour games but remains a chance to play in the first Test at Trent Bridge. Ed Cowan and Chris Rogers are now favourites to open the batting against an English side that is licking its lips at the prospect of tucking into the wobbly Australians, whose discipline is lacking, their captain has a crocked back and best quick (Ryan Harris) is a week-to-week proposition. Exactly why Warner wasn't sent home, or at least stood down for a Test match like the "Mohali Four," will spark debate about the consistency of CA's code of behaviour. Sutherland conceded Warner dodged a bullet. It's not my role to sit in judgment of that. It's [Justice] Gordon Lewis' job. Those who were there need to take responsibility for that. And so does the team as a whole," Sutherland said. Warner has apologised to Root and said he doesn't have an excessive drinking problem, even if the manager of the Walkabout Hotel said he had become a regular face over the past week. Definitely not. I don't think I've got a drinking problem at all," Warner, 26, said from London. It's just basically I've got to make the right decisions at the right time. That night wasn't a good time to go out and have a beer. We'd lost a game. Captain Michael Clarke said Warner would learn from the incident and the team culture within the Australian side was making strides, despite the most recent setback. "I've said for a long time, it's not what you say, it's what you do," Clarke said. I have the confidence in David that we won't be sitting here having this conversation again. Former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy said he felt the punishment was harsh for Warner and urged CA to come clean on any other issues bubbling away behind the scenes. David Warner, to be banned from the Champions Trophy and right up until an Ashes Test, the crime has got to be bigger. He's done something. Tell us the truth and don't be foolish," Healy told Brisbane morning radio.
