Smith says Warner's 'timely return to form' all down to girlfriend Candice Falzon

Australian all-rounder Steve Smith has said that David Warner's rare 'great' form is all down to his happy time with girlfriend Candice Falzon.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Warner has got three hundreds from his past four innings and Smith believes a fourth isn't beyond the powerful left-hander as he aims for another crack at England next month.

Exactly what role the iron-woman has played in Warner's prolific Ryobi Cup is unclear but there isn't a ground capable of containing the left-hander at the moment, the report said.

Smith said that Warner was certainly difficult to stop, adding that they had all seen it so far in this tournament, particularly at North Sydney.

He added that Warner was a strong little lad and with the big bats he uses, one needs to get only a bit of it and it goes for six.
