David Warner came up with a brilliant gesture after a fan abused him during Ashes 2019 4th Test at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. Ever since returning to cricket after one year ban due to the infamous ball-tampering scandal, Warner has been a victim of abuses and booing by fans. A similar incident happened when a fan yelled, "Warner you f*****g cheat" from the stands of the stadium during Ashes 2019 4th Test. The incident happened when the Australia team was heading into the ground on the third day of the match.

This is not the first time in Ashes 2019 that Warner was subjected to fans’ sledging. During the first Ashes 2019 Test at Edgbaston, fans teased him by saying, "He's got sandpaper in his hands”, when the Australian opener was fielding near the boundary. Warner had responded with a funny gesture at the moment, showing his empty pockets to the crowd. His epic gesture was widely appreciated by fans.
Warner was great with his form during World Cup 2019, but he could not come up with a brilliant show with the bat in Ashes 2019. In the four Test matches of Ashes 2019 so far, his scores read 2, 8, 3, 5, 61, 0 and 0. Meanwhile, the England vs Australia 4th Test in Ashes 2019 witnessed Steve Smith 92110 smashing a double century in the first innings. Australia piled up 497-8 on the scoreboard in the first innings while batting first. In response, England scored 301-10. Rory Burns (81) and Joe Root (71) played good knock for the hosts. At the end of the third session of Day 4, Australia led by 276 runs with 80-4 on the scoreboard in the 2nd innings.
