David Warner

David Warner has been one of the greatest openers across formats for Australia. The Southpaw played his final game against Pakistan. His form in the longest format of the game has been up and down over recent years, though he scored a hundred in the 1st Test during the test series he also decided to retire from the 50-over format as well. The 37-year-old has been an entertainer throughout his cricketing career. 

Warner arrived at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) most dramatically as he came in a helicopter ahead of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2023/24 encounter between the Sydney Thunder and the Sydney Sixers. He was at his brother's wedding in Hunter Valley on Friday, and he ensured that he was committed to playing for the Thunder, arriving in a helicopter just hours before the game.

I got the Lime bike in today and I'll be doing the same tomorrow: Sean Abbott 

Ahead of the game his former teammate Sean Abbott stated, "He is a bit Hollywood, isn't he, that's very Davey. I got the Lime bike in today and I'll be doing the same tomorrow night and riding out the gate as Davey lands," the Sixers pacer said before the match."

Abbott further added, "I'm glad they are making it happen because think everyone in the country who is a fan of cricket wants to see David Warner in the BBL and I'm really looking forward to coming up against him. One of the best players in the world and has been for a long time."
