With selection debate for the opening spot between Joe Burns and Will Pucovski heating up for the next month's Australia India series, veteran Oz batsman David Warner seems to be inclined towards Joe Burns as his opening partner for the first Test slated in Adelaide Oval from December 17.

Earlier, team's skipper Tim Paine and coach-cum-selector Justin Langer also threw in their weight behind Burns, despite a lacklusture showing in the first-class season with 57 runs in five innnings. Pucovski, on the other hand, made a strong claim for the opening slot with back-to-back double centuries for Victoria in Sheffield Shield recently.
While talking to Australian media on Monday, Warner, however, said Burns has been a good partner to him as the duo had six 100-run stands last summer while adding that he will accept any decision made by the selectors.

"At the moment, I don't think Joe did anything wrong last summer. We put on some great partnerships, averaged over 60 and that's what you want from your opening partnership," Warner was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.

"Obviously, we won a lot of games last year. For me, you don't break something that is actually working."
