SYDNEY: David Warner says he should be fit for the fourth Test against India after suffering dizzy spells when hit in the head during his stunning 180 in Australia's thrashing of the tourists in Perth.
The explosive opener, whose knock earned him comparisons to left-handed batting great Adam Gilchrist, was the catalyst for Australia's innings and 37-run win at the WACA Ground on Sunday, with a 69-ball century.
He took a blow to head which led to the worrying dizzy spells but the 25-year-old said he was confident of lining up at the Adelaide Oval when the fourth Test begins on Tuesday.
"I think I'm over it," Warner told reporters on Wednesday.
"It's a day-by-day thing. I've got to speak to Alex (Kountouris) about how I'm feeling," he added, referring to the team physiotherapist.
"At the moment, I feel quite fine."
Warner missed the Sydney Thunder's loss to the Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League on Tuesday night due to the dizziness.
His century against India placed him equal fourth on the list of Test cricket's fastest tons alongside Shivnarine Chanderpaul but behind Jack Gregory (67 balls), Gilchrist (57) and Viv Richards (56).
Several newspapers gave him the moniker "Whirlwind Warner" and compared him to Gilchrist while coach Mickey Arthur said he had already shown enough promise to suggest he is future captain material.
