Australian PM's plea in vain as David Warner begins farewell Test in Sydney without his baggy green

In a recent turn of events, David Warner, the Australian cricket veteran, commenced the final Test of his illustrious career sporting an alternate cap, despite his fervent plea to retrieve his iconic Baggy Green.

Even the support of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese couldn't expedite the return of Warner’s cherished cap. The PM pleaded that anyone who knows anything about the missing cap to return it promptly.

“I do hope if it hasn’t happened already, whoever knows anything about the missing hat (returns it soon),” he was quoted as saying by news.com.au." 

He further said that Warner has represented Australia on more than 100 occasions and the Baggy Green hat belongs to him and it should be returned.

“Dave Warner has represented Australia on more than 100 occasions, the Baggy Green hat belongs to him and it should be returned," PM added.

Howard Warner, David's father, expressed his frustration, labelling the perpetrator a scumbag and saying that everyone in Australia knows about the Baggy Green.

“I haven’t heard anything this morning. His video went viral I know that much – everyone in Australia knows about the Baggy Green. Whatever scumbag has taken it is going to have to lay it off very shortly. They’ll find it dumped somewhere,” Howard said on SEN Radio.

Despite Warner’s public appeal, the Baggy Green remains lost. In a pre-match statement, he said, "I haven’t found my caps. As I said in my video, if you have got my backpack, I’ll give you my backpack, all I want is those baggy greens back, please.” The saga continues, leaving fans and cricket enthusiasts bewildered by the unexpected twist in Warner's final cricketing chapter.

I had never really experienced that before: David Warner 

Recently, when asked about his favourite innings, Warner highlighted his unbeaten triple-century (335*) against Pakistan in 2019. He called it his most patient knock. He also recalled his explosive century against the same opponent in 2017, achieved in just one session.

“I think the 100 in a session here (against Pakistan in 2017) is a probable one for me where you don't go out as an opening batter trying to achieve that, to get the team off to a start like that. But to go out there and score a hundred in a session is massive. Then clearly the 300 in Adelaide was probably my most patient innings,” Warner said.

“It was a challenge mentally to get back up the next day and play, I had never really experienced that before in many hours at the crease,” he added.
