Kane Richardson prefers David Warner’s ‘Davey Café’ over Steve Smith and Adam Zampa

On Thursday, September 3, Kane Richardson interacted with Cricket Australia to shed light on the competition that has been brewing up within the Australian squad to attain the ‘coffee making’ supremacy. When asked whose coffee does he prefer drinking among his teammates, the pacer surprisingly named David Warner, even though cricketers like Adam Zampa, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne have known to be some of the biggest Australian cricketing enthusiasts of the beverage. In the video, Kane Richardson cheekily referred David Warner’s coffee as ‘Davey’s Cafe’ as the dynamic Australian opener recently brought in a coffee machine to “one up Marnus Labuschagne”.

A few months ago, Steve Smith had advised his New Zealand counterpart Kane Williamson on how to make the perfect latte design while perfectly brewing and making a cup of coffee, which won lot of admiration on social media.
