The England fan group posted a statistic pointing out that Ayub had now registered a pair twice on English soil.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Warner&#8217;s &#8217;42 innings&#8217; jab explained<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Replying to the Barmy Army, Warner wrote: \u201cInteresting stat. When was the last time I went 42 innings without a Test hundred??\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The reference was not actually about Warner. The 42 innings was a cheeky dig at former Australia teammate Marnus Labuschagne, who had gone through a lengthy drought without a Test century. <!-- -->Labuschagne&#8217;s last Test hundred came against England at Headingley in 2023, and his drought had stretched to 42 innings.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>But he wasn&#8217;t finished. Then came the curfew dig.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Warner followed his 42-innings reference with another jab: \u201cOh do you guys still have a curfew? Asking for a mate.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>That was a reference to England&#8217;s recent off-field disciplinary issues involving players breaking team curfew and going out drinking. The issue had become a talking point around the England setup, with fast bowler Brydon Carse among the players caught up in the recent controversy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Barmy Army brings up Stuart Broad<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>The Barmy Army quickly hit back, this time going after one of Warner&#8217;s most famous Test weaknesses.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>\u201cGood to see you\u2019re still nibbling outside off, Dave. Some habits die hard.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>The reference was unmistakable: Stuart Broad.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>Warner was dismissed by Broad 17 times in Test cricket, making the England seamer one of his most persistent nemeses. <!-- -->The rivalry became particularly famous during the Ashes, with Broad repeatedly finding Warner&#8217;s outside edge. The Barmy Army essentially told the retired opener that even after all these years, he still couldn&#8217;t escape the Broad jokes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"49\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Warner gets the final word<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"51\"\/>Warner eventually appeared to call time on the exchange, replying: \u201cBeen retired a few years now! Eyes have gone, think you need a new target\u2026\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"53\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"55\"\/>He then added another playful jab, suggesting the Barmy Army might need more followers and joking that he could buy them a few. Warner retired from international cricket in 2024, finishing with 8,786 Test runs from 112 matches, including 26 centuries.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
