David Warner on how he would like to be remembered: 'I hope I put a smile on everyone's face'

Firstpost  

David Warner brought an end to his 112-Test career spanning 12 years with a swashbuckling 57 in his final innings at his home Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday as Australia defeated Pakistan by eight wickets to clinch the series 3-0. Asked how he would like to be remembered, he replied: “Exciting, entertaining and I hope I put a smile on everyone’s face with the way that I played.” One of the finest openers cricket has known, Warner departed the red-ball game after plundering 8,786 runs at an average of 44.60, with a strike rate of 70.20. Australian coach Andrew McDonald described Warner before the Test started as “probably our greatest-ever three-format player” and skipper Pat Cummins said he will be a huge loss. “It’s going to be hard to replace Davey, he has basically played every game for the last dozen years,” said Cummins. “He’s a huge personality, he really sets the game up with the way he plays every time he walks out, so he is going to be huge to replace.” Warner last week also announced his retirement from one-day international cricket, but is expected to continue in the Twenty20 format.
