David Warner bows out with Australia World Cup exit
The Hindu
David Warner's illustrious international cricket career ends in disappointment, marked by controversies and record-breaking performances.
David Warner’s 15-year international career came to an anti-climactic end on June 25 as Australia were dumped out of the T20 World Cup in excruciating fashion.
Australia and Warner could only watch on powerless as Afghanistan instead reached the semifinals by beating Bangladesh by a nail-biting eight runs.
Australia’s fate had hung in the balance after India defeated them by 24 runs in St. Lucia on a day of high drama.
The 37-year-old opening batsman Warner had always said the World Cup in the United States and Caribbean would be his farewell to international cricket.
He couldn’t have imagined going out quite like this.
The combative Warner stood tall at the top of the Australian order ever since his international debut in January 2009, and as opening partners came and went.
He hangs up his pads as arguably Australia’s greatest three-format player. He is the country’s leading run-scorer in T20 cricket with 3,277 from 110 games.
