David Warner

David Warner became the first player in the history of Australian cricket to score a double ton in his 100th Test.

David Warner with his double hundred went past 8000 Test runs in his career. He’s played like the old David Warner and there’s life left yet.” Prince further went on to say, “And he’s come out and said before this test match he knows which way to go. Leaps into the air turn to the stand at deep square leg, points his bat and now kisses it and blows the kisses into the crowd. He himself has questioned how long he wants to carry on playing test cricket. People saying he was so near to the end.

"The more overs the (Australian) bowlers are going to bowl, the more maybe a back-up bowler or someone who doesn't really come on will have to apply themselves." I don't think it should be travelling head-height." It was quite quick," he said. "He just played beautifully," Smith told reporters of Warner. Australia were 386 for three at stumps, in reply to the Proteas' first innings 189 - a lead of 197 runs and with the three-match series at their mercy after a six-wicket win in the Brisbane opener. Short of runs and without a century in nearly three years, a tiring Warner slogged his way to his third double-hundred from 254 balls - becoming the first Australian to egister a double ton on his 100th Test - before succumbing to cramp and limping off the Melbourne Cricket Ground field with the aid of a trainer.

Today was David Warner's 100th Test match, and he created history as he became only the second batsman in history to score a 200 on his 100th Test, ...

Warner, with his century, has also become the second Australian after Ricky Ponting and the 10th batsman overall to achieve the three-figure mark in his 100th Test. On reaching his double century, David Warner jumped in joy, and went down on his knees to scream in celebration. This was David Warner's 100th Test match, and he created history as he became only the second batsman in history to score a 200 on his 100th Test, after former England skipper Joe Root's feat.

A furious presence at the crease, yet serenely compact, Warner's punches would stand the test of time.

The bowlers tend to take it across from the back of length or length and try to surprise him with the fuller one, hoping to catch him off-balance. If the bowler misses the good length and drags it back, he can collapse the arm for his short-arm pulls. It suits his feisty personality and the overall balance he strives to keep at crease. A furious press-back, then the opening of the front foot – he might just be defending the ball but until that moment of anaesthetising, he would make it seem as if he was about to jab. The Indians tend to collapse the arms a bit, and allow the wrists to enter the scene. David Boon had a furious twirl of the bat and a fierce cut, Terming Arthur was well-intentioned but the side-effect was detrimental to Warner. Alarmed at seeing him fail, Woodhill arranged a meeting to effect a turnaround- and would later say this to the Guardian. A young Warner was a lot more fiesty, pouncing on even length balls, if he was confident enough that there was no great deviation off the pitch, to punch em. But it’s the norm that one is interested. A Mark Waugh, or going back into the mists of time, Victor Trumper, if one is to believe the raves of the past. “I’m a plumber, and I said to him, ‘You can give it away and come labour for me, digging trenches, or you can put your head down and put everything into this if you want to be a professional sportsman’,” Steve, his brother, has said in the past.

Australian cricket star David Warner has joined an elite club of cricketers after scoring a double century in his 100th test match.

No. He became only the second Australian to strike a century in his 100th Test match, following Ricky Ponting, who achieved the milestone in 2006. David Warner, the amazing Australian cricketer, has added another record to his list of extraordinary accomplishments.

Warner joined England's Joe Root as the only other batter to reach a double century in his 100th Test.

She signed off by saying, “He just hasn’t scored the runs that he’d like, but he’s such a positive person, he knows what he has to do at training to get the best out of himself. He’s had a little bit of bad luck in the last few Tests but he knew what he wanted to do and he executed it beautifully. It’s funny everybody says form slump, but that’s not the words he’s been using, it’s not the words everyone has been talking about in the change rooms.” If it comes down to the captaincy stuff, if we’re talking about that, it’s been dragged on and it shouldn’t have.” In the ongoing second Test match between Australia and South Africa, Warner, who was playing in his 100th Test, struck an astonishing 200 runs before retiring hurt. In the ongoing Boxing Day Test against South Africa at the MCG on December 27, Australian opener David Warner ended an almost three-year streak without scoring a century in a Test match by scoring a record-breaking hundred.
