Australia's Ashes villain David Warner blames media onslaught for depriving him of 'commercial opportunities' as cricketer is convicted of drink-driving

Australian cricketer David Warner failed to avoid a drink-driving conviction after arguing in court that the intense media coverage surrounding the case constituted sufficient punishment. Warner contended that the 'media onslaught' had already deprived him of commercial opportunities, but a judge rejected this argument and convicted him. Warner, already a controversial figure known for his role in the Ashes ball-tampering scandal, now carries the formal conviction.
