SCG curator Adam Lewis Adam Lewis told Sydney Morning Herald:
"We really have a lot of time for David Warner. He really looks after the curators around Australia. And he's gone into bat for us a lot of the time."
"He knows what we go through, and he knows how tough it is. We've got a lot of respect for him. I know my whole team here would love nothing more than to see him get a hundred in his last Test. That would be great."

Dude made 200 in his 100th Test. I think he will have a good game much like Alistair cook.

Following his decision to retire from Test cricket, David Warner has announced he will also step away from ODI cricket.
The two-time Cricket World Cup-winner made the announcement on the morning of New Year's Day. The left-handed opener compiled 6932 runs at 45.30 in the middle format, at a strike rate of 97.26.
Often stepping up at global tournaments, Warner also bows out with 1527 World Cup runs, scored at an average of 56.55, at a rate better than a run a ball. Only five men's batters stand above him on the all-time World Cup run tally, including compatriot Ricky Ponting (1743).
"I’ve got to give back to the family," Warner said during his announcement.
"That (ODI retirement) was something I had said through the World Cup, get through that and winning that in India is a massive achievement."
There was a caveat to Warner's announcement however, with the veteran open to a return for the 2025 Champions Trophy should he be required.
"I know there’s a Champions Trophy coming up and if I’m playing decent cricket still in two years’ time and they need someone, I’m going to be available.”
Warner entered the Australia set-up as a limited overs specialist, debuting for the team in T20I cricket in January 2009 against South Africa before playing a first-class match. He made his ODI debut against the same opposition a week later, before making a half-century in his second outing in the format.
The 37-year-old opener will also play his final Test match at the SCG against Pakistan, beginning on January 3.

CA Congratulates David Warner on Brilliant Test Career
Cricket Australia (CA) has congratulated David Warner on his outstanding Test career ahead of the NRMA Insurance Pink Test.
The 37-year-old opener will play his final Test match against Pakistan at the SCG starting on January 3.
Warner, who made his Test debut against New Zealand in December 2011, has played 111 Tests and scored 8695 runs at 44.58 including 26 centuries, 36 half centuries with a top score of 335*.
Warner was considered by some a limited overs specialist at the outset of his career having been chosen for Australia’s T20 team in 2009 before he had played a first-class game.
He was selected for the Australian Test team after a series of strong performances for his native NSW.
This decision was soon vindicated with Warner making his maiden century (123*) in his second Test against New Zealand in Hobart, carrying his bat in an unsuccessful run chase.
Warner immediately became compelling viewing with his attacking style blending the audacious stroke play of the nascent T20 format with a technique capable of resisting the world’s finest bowlers.
While renowned for his blistering innings including his 69-ball century against India at the WACA Ground in 2012, he could also occupy the crease and became the seventh Australian batter to score a Test triple century making 335* against Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval in 2019.
Warner became Australia’s fifth greatest Test run scorer and the second greatest run scorer in all formats with 18,521 behind only Ricky Ponting (27,368).
Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said:
“Congratulations to David on an amazing Test career. We are all extremely grateful for his immense contribution to this form of the game.
“David’s wonderful attacking style not only played a vital role in many Australian victories, it also enthralled and entertained fans across the world and drew many to Test cricket.
“I’m sure David’s home crowd will give him a tremendous farewell at the SCG, and we all look forward to him continuing to be a valuable contributor to Australia’s white ball campaigns.”

From Warner presser:
What was your favourite innings?
"I think the 100 in a session here (against Pakistan in 2017) is probably 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 (his 335no against Pakistan in 2019) was probably my most patient innings. It was a challenge mentally to get back up the next day and play. I'd never really experienced that before in that many hours at the crease."
What did you learn from the Cape Town scandal and how do you reflect on what you learned from it?
"When I left Africa, the first five or six people that came up to me were priests and gave me a card. Then we went on a holiday to Singapore after that and there was a big church convention. I then sat back and spoke to Candice, and said someone is clearly watching down upon us. I just grew strength from there to go back, play grade cricket, get a sense of that cricket community back – the canteen ladies, people who run the drinks out, taking on and off the covers – it was a sense of something I sort of got disconnected with. I think a lot of us do because we are in that bubble but when you go back and see the real people who are really, really working hard, which we did as young kids, that's what I reflect most upon. If I can keep continuing to make sure that people understand where you come from and how you got to where you are, that's going to be very important. That's a lesson that I learned. Then spending time at home with the kids, that was unbelievable. I actually really enjoyed that. I spent a lot of time with my wife. We are sort of disconnected in a way when we travel a lot. Reflecting back on that whole period, my whole career, I've got no regrets because you are going to have a lot of hurdles you are going to have to jump. There's going to be obstacles in the way, but you have to move forward and I've done that with dignity. I've got a lot of passion for the game and it was important from my perspective that I'm giving back, making sure that I gained the respect back but making sure I'm putting Australian cricket first. I want every young kid who wants to play cricket to dream of playing for Australia and that's what was really important for me when I came back."

I agree and hope the same. He has thrashed Pakistan too many times. I think he should give Pakistan some easy days before he retires. Giant of the game he is though.

Warner's 2nd last innings of his test career was ended by Salman as got him for the 2nd time in this series that too in the slips taken by Babar. Warner got too many chances in this series but apart from his mammoth innings in the first test, he was below par in his farwell series.

Warner was a brat when he first came in, sledger, arrogant, crude. Even under Clarke's captaincy in 2014-15 he wasn't likeable, agent provocateur.
But look at him in last few years, he has mellowed down and become friendly with opponents, doesn't sledge or get into fights. This is the change in culture in Australian cricket which is welcome. When I started watching cricket, Steve Waugh and Ponting's Aussies ruled the world and nobody liked them. But today they are winning matches and also hearts, ideal role models.
Apart from being a great player, this is what I'll remember Warner fondly for. How his nature/character did a 180 and became one of the most adored/respected cricketers in the world.
