SA coach Arthur feels sorry for Warner

8220;I think it8217;s been way over the top,to be honest. Yes,he8217;s a good player. He looks very talented,but he8217;s played a handful of games. He hasn8217;t played a first-class game yet,8221; he was quoted as saying by the 8216;Sydney Morning Herald8217;.

Warner,who has played just 10 one-day matches for New South Wales,took the cricket world by storm when he thrashed 89 in just 43 balls in his Australian debut in a Twenty20 match against South Africa in Melbourne.

But the 22-year-old could manage only two single-figure scores thereafter in the second T20 international and his first one-day match,against South Africa in Hobart.

8220;The expectations on his shoulders are huge and I think those expectations get heavier and heavier with every failure,8221; Arthur said.

8220;Hopefully,we can still keep him under that sort of pressure. But to be fair to the guys,he8217;s very dangerous. He can set a team up. He8217;s the type of cricketer that,on his day,will win you games. What Australia do with him is up to them but he looks dangerous.8221;

Warner won national selection after a state record 165 not out from 112 balls and 97 off 54 balls. Both scores were against Tasmania. He was retained in the national one-day squad when Michael Clarke was ruled out for the remaining three matches against South Africa with a thumb injury.
