Veteran Australian opener David Warner on Tuesday ended a nearly three-year drought by scoring a century in his 100th Test against South Africa and returned to his best performance at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. On his way to three figures, the 36-year-old completed 8,000 Test runs – the eighth Australian to do so – after coming into the game under pressure following a lean run. It was his first Test hundred since January 2020 as he proved the doubters wrong with an aggressive 144-ball innings, studded with eight fours, on the second day of the second Test.
He completed his 25th century with a boundary, punching the air in celebration.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Warner’s century:
One of the greatest opening batsmen of our time! So David Warner scored a century in his 100th Test! As Sehwag predicted in 2010 IIRC, David Warner will be a better test batsman than a limited overs batsman, what a prediction! #david warner #AUSvsSA

Watching David Warner score a hundred and Smith scoring a half-century makes my Tuesday mornings more beautiful. #AUSvsSA #aus

Brilliant innings from David Warner.

Warner had insisted before the match that “you are never out of form”.
“They are not words I use and they are certainly not used in our changing rooms,” he said. “It’s about (being) out of the run.”
