Veteran Australian opener David Warner has dismissed the notion that Stuart Broad has unsettled him mentally, despite acknowledging his struggles against the English seamer.

Warner's performance has been closely scrutinized, especially after his low scores in the last Test in Headingley. Broad, in particular, has been a thorn in his side, having dismissed him 17 times in the past. 

Despite his poor run of form with the bat, Warner has retained his spot in the playing XI for the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford, as Australia aims for their first Ashes series win in England since 2001.

However, despite these challenges, Warner remains focused on the task at hand, concentrating on facing each ball and finding ways to score. He admires Broad's skills and recognizes him as one of the best bowlers, especially against left-handed batters like himself.

Speaking on the Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club podcast before the fourth Ashes Test, Warner expressed his confidence in his form and mentioned that he has been feeling good in the nets, having had productive sessions against the team's quick bowlers at Beckenham ahead of the series.

"I don't really think about the match-up. You think about the ball that's coming at you, how you are going to score. He bowls in a great area all the time. I always love facing Broady. We have two left-handed opening batters and he is one of, if not the best bowler to left-handers in today's game. He is so good at it. Jimmy (Anderson) is there as well. These are guys we have watched and played against for a long time. I feel like I am in great touch," Warner said. "I have felt good in the nets, leading in I had good sessions against our quicks at Beckenham (before the series),”  David Warner said on the Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club podcast ahead of the fourth Ashes Test in Manchester.

Despite the scrutiny and challenges he has faced in the series, Warner maintains a positive outlook and remains focused on contributing to Australia's success in the ongoing five-match Ashes series.
