Barmy Army cheekily pays respect to David Warner
In Test cricket, the retired English seamer has been the Aussie left-hander's nemesis on the field. Broad began his dominance over Warner during the 2014 Ashes series, dismissing the opener on a record 17 occasions in red-ball cricket.
With the New South Welshman getting a guard of honour while walking out to bat at the end of day 1, the Barmy Army tweeted:
"David Warner walks out for one final time in Test cricket…Congratulations on a great career, @davidwarner3 Broady can’t get you now."
Since making his Test debut in 2011, the New South Welshman has been a regular in Australia's squad. The veteran will leave the format with over 8,500 runs and 26 centuries. Broad, meanwhile, announced his retirement from all formats following the 2023 Ashes.
