Australian opener David Warner Friday joined an elite list of iullustrious batsmen of the famed 'Invincibles' team during his knock of 145 runs on the opening day of the first Test against India at the Adelaide Oval here.

The left-hander hit his 10th Test century en route to an aggressive knock leading his team to a comfortable 354 for six wickets at stumps on day one.

The only other Australians who have notched 10 or more centuries after 33 Tests were members of Donald Bradman's 1948 'Invincibles' Australian team: Bradman himself (18 hundreds), Neil Harvey (12) and Arthur Morris (10).

In 2014 he has made 959 runs at 73.76 in seven matches. No batsman in the world has scored more than his five hundreds this year.
