Australian opener David Warner not only silenced his critics, but also went past two Aussie legends as he kickstarted his farewell Test series with a century against Pakistan on Thursday.
The explosive Aussie opener smashed a 164 in 211 balls, with 16 fours and four sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 77.72.
During one of his best innings, as he was playing under massive pressure to perform following underwhelming Test returns for the past two years, Warner entered the top five run-getters for Australia in Test cricket, leapfrogging Matthew Hayden (8,625 runs) and Michael Clarke (8,643 runs).
