Full Coverage: ICC World Cup 2015
Outspoken opener David Warner has been on his best behaviour at the World Cup after getting into hot water over a series of spats with the Indian side during the Test series over the New Year.

The fiery exchanges continued into the Tri-series and Warner was fined for asking India's Rohit Sharma to "speak English" during a slanging match in a one-dayer at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in January.

"I heard Davy said he wasn't going to get involved in all that stuff," paceman Johnson told Fox TV on Tuesday.
"Someone's got to do it and I might put my hand up. It's part of the game and what happened the other day with Shane (Watson) and Wahab (Riaz) was exceptional.
"I thought it was great entertainment and I think you're going to see more entertainment in this game."
Watson had the last laugh on Pakistan paceman Wahab after their compelling duel in the quarterfinals last week when he helped steer Australia to victory. Both players were later fined.
Johnson has some history with India in the sledging stakes and made them pay for having the temerity to lampoon him after he went wicket-less in the first innings of the second test at the Gabba last December.
The 33-year-old slugged 88 off 93 balls to help rescue Australia's first innings and then took three wickets in a dazzling spell of bowling and finished with figures of 4-61 as Australia won the match by four wickets.
"I love it. The more that comes my way, the better," he said at the time.
As well as Warner, Indians Shikhar Dhawan, Ishant Sharma and Virat Kohli were fined for clashes during the Test series.
