It has been finally revealed. The truth behind David Warner and his mysterious baggy green disappearance and reappearance is finally out. Warner is a man who controversy follows, and it seems like it will continue to happen despite his retirement from Test cricket.
After the sudden loss of his baggy green ahead of his farewell Test and the peculiar return of it mid-way through the match, it seems like it was David Warner himself who was to blame for the cap’s alleged disappearance.
According to WAtoday, it was Warner or his wife may have mistakenly misinformed security about the whereabouts of the baggy green, which led to the whole kerfuffle.
The opener had packed his baggy green into a backpack and placed it into his half coffin (a small kit bag), but seemed to have misinformed the staff about it. Instead of searching for it in the half-coffins, a search for it went about looking inside bigger kitbags.
The issue got so out of hand that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese requested its safe return. However, in the end, it proved to be the negligence of Warner and the inability of team manager Catherine Wightman, who ultimately started a search for the baggy green, which was found among the team’s 64 kitbags.
Did David Warner misinform security and team management on purpose? That’s for you to decide.
