Candice Warner gives perfect reply to Mitchell Johnson after husband hits blasting century

Candice Warner delivered a succinct yet cutting response to Mitchell Johnson following her husband David Warner's impressive performance at the crease amid a flurry of criticism. David Warner smashed a blasting century in the first Test match against Pakistan on Thursday. Before the match, Johnson had slammed Warner over his retirement plan and his selection in the squad. 

Candice Warner hits back at Mitchell Johnson

In the lead-up to the first Test against Pakistan in Perth, Johnson escalated his critique of Warner, asserting that the veteran opener didn't deserve a farewell in Sydney this summer due to poor performances and his involvement in the sandpaper scandal. Warner responded emphatically on the opening day at Perth Stadium by scoring a century, contributing significantly to Pat Cummins' side's strong position.

Inevitably, Candice seized the moment to take a swipe at Mitchell Johnson, utilizing X (formerly Twitter) to post a 'shush' emoji directly aimed at the former fast bowler.

As David Warner celebrated his milestone with a triumphant roar, he sent a clear message to Mitchell Johnson, who was sitting in the commentary box. After his solid innings, Warner hit back at his critics by saying that the only way to silence them is to add runs on the board.
