Opener backs up on-field form with personal milestones
Warner to marry and become father
David Warner's purple patch has extended, with the in-form opener announcing that he is to marry partner Candice Falzon and that the couple are expecting a baby.
Warner finished as the leading run-scorer in the Test series win against world No.1 ranked side South Africa, with 543 runs at 90.50, including twin centuries in the decider in Cape Town last week.
That performance came on the back of 523 runs at 58.11 in the Ashes whitewash where he scored another two centuries.

Warner has repeatedly credited his stunning cricket form in recent times to a more stable home environment, a sentiment that has been echoed in the past by teammates including Mitchell Johnson and Michael Clarke.
Warner had run foul of the Australian team set-up after an altercation with England's Joe Root in a bar during the failed Ashes tour in 2013, but it was that incident that sparked the romance between Warner and Falzon.
Warner announced the news on his Instagram account with a story to be published Tuesday in gossip magazine New Idea.
Very happy to say that @CandyFalzon is now my fiancé and we are expecting. We are over the moon with the news and extremely excited.
