Why cricket teammates turned bitter enemies David Warner and Mitchell Johnson are on a collision course Set to cross paths in Perth next month at Optus Stadium Both in commentary, Warner signed on with Fox Cricket Johnson is with Triple M, will cover first Test against India By Andrew Prentice And Josh Alston For Daily Mail Australia Published: 01:40, 31 October 2024 | Updated: 01:41, 31 October 2024 e-mail 21 shares View comments They were once cricket teammates for Australia - but now bitter enemies David Warner and Mitchell Johnson are set for an awkward reunion in Perth during the first Test against India next month. Despite not being listed by Triple M this week as part of their team of broadcasters, the former paceman - who snared 313 Test wickets in his career - is tipped to be calling the live action in his home state. Johnson will more than likely cross paths with Warner, who has signed on as a commentator for Fox Cricket as he juggles his Big Bash commitments with the Sydney Thunder this summer.
The pair will avoid one another when Pakistan are in Perth on November 10 for an ODI clash against Australia, as Johnson has a prior engagement. Their falling-out - which can be traced back a few years - reignited in December last year when Johnson insisted Warner didn't 'warrant a heroic sending off' against Pakistan as his Test career drew to a close. Earlier last year, the former fast bowler also called for Warner to be dropped from Australia's Ashes tour, prompting a war.
