[Saba Sports News] David Warner, the seasoned Australian opener, recently marked his last appearance at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) as he nears the end of his Test cricket career. Warner, who plans to retire from Test cricket following a three-match series against Pakistan, has had an impressive run, greatly contributing to Australian cricket with his prolific scoring.
In his final performance at the MCG during the second Test against Pakistan, Warner scored six runs off 16 balls. He acknowledged the crowd’s appreciation by gifting his gloves to a young spectator. The crowd stood in ovation as Warner exited, a tribute to his status as a cricketing legend. With just one more Test in the series, Warner is focused on delivering a memorable performance.
The moment of Warner’s farewell at the MCG was captured and shared by cricket.com.au on their social media. The post highlighted Warner’s connection with the MCG, where he scored 912 Test runs and made his T20I debut.
“At the ground where he scored 912 Test runs, and made his T20I debut all those years, David Warner bids farewell to the MCG for one final time #AUSvPAK,” the post was captioned.
In the current Test series against Pakistan, Australia, led by Pat Cummins, has been dominant. They secured a 360-run victory in the first Test and are well-positioned to win the second Test and the series. At the close of Day 3 in the second Test, Australia had scored 187 runs for six wickets, with Steve Smith out at 50 runs and Alex Carey at bat, holding a 241-run lead. The Australian team hopes to build a substantial total for Pakistan to chase as the series progresses.
