The 37-year-old has his sights set on a farewell party at the SCG, but Johnson claims he is not deserving of one given his role in the sandpaper scandal in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>He also questioned the integrity and professionalism of selector George Bailey, claiming he is too close to the playing group.<\/p>\n<p>Across 2023, Warner has averaged 22.81 in Tests, putting him ninth among Aussie batters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>James Erskine, Warner&#8217;s agent, has labelled Johnson&#8217;s tirade &#8216;a bit sad&#8217; and defended the opener&#8217;s form.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/04\/09\/78548009-0-image-m-14_1701683078757.jpg\" height=\"360\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>James Erskine has backed his client David Warner amid strong criticism of his selection<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/04\/08\/78545879-0-image-a-1_1701678450789.jpg\" width=\"308\" height=\"185\"><\/p>\n<h2><span>Poll<\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Does David Warner deserve a home Test send-off? <\/p>\n<p> Does David Warner deserve a home Test send-off? <\/p>\n<p>Now share your opinion<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Mitchell Johnson was a fine player &#8230; and he&#8217;s entitled to his opinion. But at the end of the day what surprises me is all these ex-cricketers who basically have a crack at the current lot,&#8217; he said on SEN&#8217;s Sportsday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You would never get that happening in golf where Arnold Palmer was criticising Nick Faldo, or Chrissie Evert having a crack at somebody else who was currently playing (tennis).<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think it&#8217;s a bit sad in a way. I&#8217;m sure they have an opinion but I think it&#8217;s to get a headline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My black Labrador could work out who are the contenders to basically take the spot. Cameron Bancroft, there&#8217;s Matt Renshaw, there&#8217;s Marcus Harris. Collectively they have averages in the mid-20s &#8230; David Warner has played 109 Test matches and has a (career) average of 44.4, got over 8500 runs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If anyone listening thought that David Warner wanted to play Test cricket for Australia if he didn&#8217;t think he was up to it, they&#8217;re wrong. He&#8217;s been a battler all his life, he&#8217;s a guy from the wrong side of the tracks, he&#8217;s a guy that&#8217;s gone and scraped a living and been very successful at it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But he doesn&#8217;t want a swansong, he thinks he&#8217;s the best guy for the job. I think the figures show it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/04\/09\/78548015-0-image-a-13_1701683074094.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Erskine says Warner is still the right man for the job at the top of Australia&#8217;s order<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If he goes and gets two ducks in the first two Tests then they&#8217;ll drop him, but, you know, he won&#8217;t.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;If there was somebody sitting on the sidelines who was an absolute automatic to come in, bring &#8217;em on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;David would say, &#8216;Be my guest, I&#8217;ll give you batting tips&#8217;, but the fact of the matter is, there isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m guessing but I won&#8217;t be far out, I think between Marcus Harris, Renshaw and Bancroft, they&#8217;ve probably got a total of 1500 runs between them.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/article-12822629\/David-Warners-agent-labels-Mitchell-Johnson-sad.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Warner&#8217;s agent labels Mitchell Johnson &#8216;sad&#8217;
