David Warner Ashes stats: How many runs has Warner scored in Ashes Tests?

David Warner Ashes stats: The Australian opening batter was the first to be dismissed at the Bellerive Oval today.

During the first day of the ongoing fifth Ashes 2021-22 Test match between Australia and England in Hobart, Australia opening batter David Warner was the first batter to be dismissed under testing batting conditions.

It all happened on the last delivery of the sixth over when Warner pushed an out-swinging Ollie Robinson delivery which induced an outside edge only to be caught by Zac Crawley in the slips.

Robinson, who had missed the fourth Test in Sydney due to rotation, struck immediately after being asked to open the bowling alongside veteran pacer Stuart Broad.

Warner, who hasn’t scored a century in this series, walked back to the pavilion at the Bellerive Oval today after not scoring a run in his 22-ball stay in the first innings.

Warner’s departure was soon followed by Usman Khawaja (5) and Steven Smith (0) joining him in the dressing room as the Australian top-order failed to counter pace-friendly conditions on a green top today.

Had it not been for Crawley’s drop catch to give a reprieve to Marnus Labuschagne in the eighth over, Australia would’ve had lost four wickets in the first hour itself.
