David Warner's numbers as a batsman are insane but fans couldn't keep calm when the broadcasters made a massive blunder and showed his runs as wickets
Australian opener David Warner, who is playing in his 100th Test match marked the occasion by smashing a century against South Africa in the 2nd Test at the MCG. Warner's numbers across all formats are truly insane, however, the broadcasters of the Australia vs South Africa series, Fox Sports made a massive blunder and showed Warner's stats as wickets instead of runs.
Twitteratti thus enjoyed a field day as they mocked the broadcasters, calling Warner the greatest bowler of all time as stats showed he had over 14,000 dismissals to his name, which was instead his run tally.
While showing Warner's runs across all formats, by mistake, the 'runs' column showed 'wickets' and thus it gave the fans a chance to flood Twitter with hilarious reactions.

Talking about the 2nd Test, Australia restricted South Africa to a total of 189 runs in Melbourne, before Warner smashed a century, making his 100th Test match a special occasion.
Steve Smith also continued his rich vein of form in red-ball cricket and smashed a fifty to propel the hosts to a total beyond 200 after drinks break in the second session on Day 2.
