David Warner's Cheeky 'Ball Change' Jibe on England and Australia's Women's World Cup Semi Final
While referring to the Ashes ball change controversy, David Warner put out a funny warning for the Australian women's football team, The Matildas, before their FIFA World Cup semi-final match against England at Stadium Australia on Wednesday. The ball controversy erupted on the fourth ball of the fifth match of the Ashes 2023 when the old ball was changed to a relatively newer ball during England's bowling. Former captain of Team Australia Ricky Ponting was quick to point out the issue on-air before it became a huge topic of discussion in the following days. The Ashes series ended last month, but Warner has brought the controversy to light again.
David Warner wrote on Twitter, "An early good luck to the @TheMatildas. Just keep an eye out in case the Poms ask to change the ball."
The co-hosts of the ongoing Women's World Cup, Australia, have already created history with their maiden run to the last four and are determined to keep breaking barriers and go even further. The Matildas' exploits have triggered a groundswell of support at home.
