Retired Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson has once again talked about opener David Warner's spot in the Test side after he registered his 26th Test century against Pakistan on day one of the Perth Test.
The 42-year-old, in his column in The West Australian, wrote that it was not surprising for him to see Warner score a century on home turf.
"David Warner’s century on the first day of the Australian Test summer was no great surprise in some ways," he wrote.
"There was a big media spotlight on Warner and his form and he seems to be at his most motivated when backed into a corner and he generally saves his best for home soil," he added.
The former left-armer again reiterated that the selectors must hand chances to the young players.
It must be noted that earlier this month, Johnson questioned why is Warner being treated this well by the selectors despite being part of a ball-tampering scandal in 2018.
"It's been five years and David Warner has still never really owned the ball-tampering scandal," Johnson wrote. "Now the way he is going out is underpinned by more of the same arrogance and disrespect to our country.
"As we prepare for David Warner's farewell series, can somebody please tell me why?"
Warner, playing his farewell Test series, smashed 164 in the first innings before getting out on a duck in the second.
Warner now stands as the fifth-highest Test run-getter for Australia, trailing only behind Steve Smith, Steve Waugh, Allan Border, and Ricky Ponting.
