David Warner faced drama during final Test Match

The Australian cricketing summer is in full swing and the retirement of David Warner has dominated column inches with many domestic and international betting sites. 

With Warner ready to step away from the longest format of the game following his final Test at the SCG, he was briefly apart from his beloved Baggy Green cap.  

Few opening batters in world cricket enjoy the fearsome reputation that David Warner does and the fiery opener has long been a contributor for many punters and betting apps. 
 
With his long and distinguished career coming to an end at the start of 2024, replacements for David Warner at the top of the order are being perused over but as ever, Warner had one last piece of drama he became part of.  
 
When travelling to the SCG for his final Test, Warner’s Baggy Green cap was stolen, causing a media furore and Warner himself forced to put out a plea on social media to have his cap returned. 
 
Warner in the thick of it 

Whether it be for his part in the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa or for fighting Joe Root in a UK bar, David Warner is absolutely no stranger to the limelight. 
 
With the final Test Match of his career lined up against Pakistan at the SCG, Warner was inevitably going to find himself in the public eye but once again, drama happens to follow him around. 
 
As the Australian team travelled to the SCG for the pre-match obligations against Pakistan, Warner’s rucksack – containing his Baggy Green cap, went missing, causing a national manhunt to return it. 
 
Walking away on top 

One of the key components of David Warner’s career within the Australian Test team has been consistency. 
 
Not only has Warner consistently put runs on the board for Australia against all bowling attacks from around the world, but it is the speed at which he has compiled them that has caused problems for the opposition. 
 
With Australia 2-0 up in a three-game series against Pakistan. Warner has once again made a telling contribution with the bat – enabling him to go out at the very top of the sport.

Warner’s Legacy 

Having played for Australia before he played a first-class match, David Warner has long been a cut above the rest in Australian cricket. 
 
He is set to walk away from the Test Match and ODI side with an average of over 45 in both formats, as well as 49 international centuries to his name. 
 
Replacing Warner will be very tough for Australian cricket and with his Baggy Green back on, the diminutive opening batsman will be ready to put on a show in his final Test Match at the SCG. 

Any Australian cricketing summer is always big business for punters with online betting sites and once again in 2024, the movements of the Aussie Test side make headlines. 

In his final Test Matches, David Warner has touted even more controversy but with his Baggy Green now back with him, after a couple of days away, he will be able to let his batting do the talking for one last time.
