‘Doesn’t bother me if anyone writes about me to get headlines’: Warner shushes critics after century
The HinduAustralia opener David Warner celebrated his 26th test century on Thursday by ‘shushing’ the Perth media box, silencing his critics after putting his side in a strong position on day one of the first test against Pakistan. The hosts ended the day on 346-5 from 84 overs after batting first, with Usman Khawaja and Travis Head also making contributions, but Warner’s fiery 164 off 211 balls stole the show. “Anyone who wants to write stories about me, get headlines, that stuff doesn’t bother me,” Warner said after the close of play. Surpassing former greats Matthew Hayden and Michael Clarke to become Australia’s fifth-highest test run-scorer with 8651, Warner added a further three sixes during his aggressive and determined innings -- albeit with a dose of luck.
