David Warner vs Mitchell Johnson: Ponting offers solution to resolve ugly spat - 'Get them both in a room and...'

Former Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson ignited controversy last week when he strongly criticized his ex-teammate David Warner ahead of the latter's ‘farewell’ Test series against Pakistan. Johnson stated that despite five years passing, Warner has not fully “acknowledged” his role in the scandal, and his farewell seems characterized by “arrogance and disrespect” to the country. Ricky Ponting spoke about Mitchell Johnson's scathing criticism of David Warner Johnson's comments stirred debate across social media platforms with Australia's chief selector George Bailey, as well as Warner's opening partner Usman Khawaja, backing the Aussie senior batter. While Warner has remained tight-lipped over the controversy so far, Johnson's outburst at the Australian star wasn't his first; the former quick had earlier criticised Warner's selection in Ashes 2023 as well.
