David Warner scored 164 runs in 211 balls in first innings of the first test against Pakistan.

Australian opener David Warner has begun his farewell series in magnificent style as he slammed his 26th Test century. Warner made an emphatic start to the series against Pakistan at Optus Stadium in Perth and scored 164 runs in the first. Perth has been a happy hunting city for Warner and once again he proved it with his wonderful stroke-making in Perth. He smashed 20 boundaries in his 211-ball knock.

David Warner was involved in a huge controversy along with former Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson before start of the match. Former pacer Jonson raised objections over Warner getting a hero-like farewell despite having been charged in the Sandpaper Gate scandal. Johnson wrote a scathing column attacking Australian opener Warner and wrote that he was only selected due to the retirement he has announced from test cricket. 

Social Media and David Warner fans have trolled Mitchell Johnson after the veteran Australian opener went on to score a scintillating hundred in the first test match against Pakistan. Warner will be officially announcing his retirement from test cricket after the ongoing three-match Test series against Pakistan. He will be playing his final Test match of his career at Sydney Cricket Ground from 3rd January. 

Here’s how twitter reacted to Warner’s century against Pakistan:

David Warner didn’t hold it back and made full use of Pakistan’s inexperienced bowling lineup from the first over. Warner was batting with a strike rate of 95-100 from the start and completed his 26th ton in just 125 deliveries. He added 126 runs for the first wicket along with Usman Khawaja, who was cautious in his approach. Warner played a deliberate uppercut against Aamer Jamal to bring his special 26th ton in test cricket. 

Australia are marching towards a big total and David Warner’s aggressive knock has helped them go past 330 on the first day. Warner was dismissed by Aamer Jamal, Warner tried to play a pull shot against right-arm pacer but Imam-ul-haq took an easy catch at deep backward square leg boundary. Warner perished after scoring 164 runs in 211 balls. He also scored 16 fours and 4 big sixes in his knock.
