Warner took exception to the stat and hit back, sparking an exchange with the account.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey guys, sorry time zone got the best of me. Interesting stat. When was the last time I went 42 innings without a test hundred??\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh do you guys still have a curfew, asking for a mate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Warner\u2019s mention of the 42 innings without a test hundred was a reference to Marnus Labuschagne\u2019s barren run, with some suggesting Warner threw his former teammate under the bus.<\/p>\n
The Barmy Army poked more fun at Warner, joking that he was \u201cstill nibbling outside off\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Warner responded saying: \u201cBeen retired a few years now! Eyes have gone, think you need a new target or you still need followers still. Happy to buy a few for you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Labuschagne has stirred debate over whether he should have been selected for the Tour of South Africa given his poor form.<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I surprised? It\u2019s hard to be surprised because they just keep picking him,\u201d said Ricky Ponting after his selection was confirmed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the back of my own mind I was like, \u2018has the time come when they\u2019re going to make that call yet, or is it not?\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve decided not to, and the only thing I can think is they\u2019re going to shuffle the batting order around to accommodate somehow because I can\u2019t see how they can keep going the same direction they\u2019ve gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
