Fans At SCG Allowed To Enter Field To Celebrate David Warner's Farewell, Picture Goes Viral

David Warner scored a half-century in his final Test innings, scoring 57 off 75.

Organisers and security staff at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) allowed fans present at the venue to enter the field of play to have a closer look at David Warner for one final time in his Test jersey. As Warner gave a farewell speech, he was surrounded by fans who had stepped on to the field to watch one of the team's prolific run-scorers for a final time in whites.

Notably, Warner had announced well before the start of the series that this will be his final assignment in the longest format of the game. The 37-year-old got an opportunity to bid adieu to the game's longest format at his home ground where fans turned up in large numbers.

The picture of the fans standing on the field to attend Warner's farewell went viral on social media.

 


'A Dream Come True,' Says Warner After Farewell Test

"It's pretty much a dream come true. You win 3-0 and cap off what's been a great 18 months to 2 years for the Australian cricket team. World Test Championship win, Ashes series draw and then the World Cup. To come here and finish 3-0 is an outstanding achievement. I'm proud to be with a bunch of great cricketers here," Warner said after the match outlining Australia's dominance in tournaments of global repute in the recent past.

"These guys (Australia's pacers), they work their backsides off, the engine room - the three big quicks plus Mitchell Marsh - they work tirelessly in the nets and in the gym. Credit to them, the physios, the staff behind that ... is outstanding. You look at them, they are amazing, I don't have to face them ever again in the nets, which I don't do anyway, so that helps," he added.

Warner also announced that he won't be playing the ODI format either and thus finishes with 8786 runs from 112 Test matches and 6932 runs from 161 ODIs.
