David Warner's wife Candice takes aim at Mitchell Johnson after opener's dazzling century

Candice Warner delivered a succinct yet powerful response to Mitchell Johnson after her husband David Warner’s superb performance on Day 1 of the Perth Test against Pakistan. With a superb ton, Warner effectively silenced criticism directed at him, especially by Mitchell Johnson.

Leading up to the first Test against Pakistan in Perth, Johnson escalated his criticism of Warner and even questioned his worthiness of a farewell match this summer at the Sydney Cricket Ground owing to perceived poor performances and his involvement in the sandpaper scandal. However, David Warner responded emphatically by scoring a century on the opening day at Optus Stadium in Perth and putting Australia in the driver’s seat.

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Candice seized the opportunity to take a swipe at Johnson as she posted a ‘shush’ emoji in a direct response to the former fast bowler.
