In a stunning response to his critics, David Warner marked the opening day of Australia’s first Test against Pakistan with a dazzling century, reaching an impressive 164. Warner’s wife, Candice, took to social media, posting a cryptic image of the centurion with a ‘keep quiet’ emoji, seemingly aimed at former pacer Mitchell Johnson for his pre-Test comments questioning Warner’s farewell series.
The explosive opener, playing his final Test series, showcased his signature celebration after reaching his 26th Test century, forming a solid 126-run opening partnership with Usman Khawaja (41). The ongoing series gains significance as Warner is expected to retire after this event.
Candice’s post follows Johnson’s newspaper column, where he raised doubts about giving Warner a farewell series due to his recent red-ball form struggles and his involvement in the ‘sandpaper-gate’ controversy in South Africa.
