Despite what he had done on the cricket field I have a feeling he will be one of those players most people in cricket will be happy to forget about once he hangs up his boots.

I was optimistic with my last post, I since read he has a deal to move into broadcasting and the loss of his baggy green keeps him in the headlines.
Perhaps the fact that he divides opinion so much will lead the media to keep dragging him up.
Hopefully only in Australia though.

"I just hope the kids out there can follow in my footsteps", said David Warner , in an emotional 😢 speech after retirement *
Although I was tempted to add something else ,I too hope his attractive and outstanding batting has encouraged the kids to play cricket
* I'm sure too he will entertain many more cricket fans as he embarks on his franchise 🌎 tours

I don't know for sure but it is reported that Warner's baggy caps were never missing, they were where he left them, in his backpack, in his Mebourne hotel while he flew to Sydney.
Now I occasionally lose things but only while I sit down and think what I last did with the missing item and then there's a sudden 💡 moment.

i am just surprised his missing baggy green was not on his head all the time.

There was a 15-year-old, from the Saddleworth area, who attended Manchester GS and, therefore, qualified to play for my Manchester Schools U15 team, which he did, just the once, I think.
This boy 'lost' a pair of batting gloves, and I took the abusive call from an irate father who said there was a thief amongst all those scruffy comprehensive school kids on the team. The gloves were subsequently 'found' in the boy's own cricket bag, but no apology.
The boy grew up, and went on to play a few games for YCCC.

On the man himself, he was on T20 commentary this morning. I only saw bits and pieces but my first impression is that he knows nothing but cricket. I don't like his voice either but that just might be my bias.
He's on his way to the ILT20 now as a player to join up with his old pal Joe Root.
It does seem likely that he misplaced his cap, at least looking at the lack of media reaction when it suddenly turned up.
