100 not out: The stats that act as David Warner’s legacy

David Warner began his career for Australia in rare and impressive style. He was the first man since 1877 to represent Australia without ever playing a first-class match.

He went ballistic whacking the likes of Dale Steyn for 89 off 43 winning Player of the Match honours. He seemed to firmly placed as a white-ball cricket with many doubting his potential to make it big in Test cricket.

But they were wrong.

It was two years after his T20I debut when Warner played his first Test match. Warner played New Zealand scoring 3 off 3 and 12 not out off 4.

Since these humble beginnings, The man known as the Bull has added over 8000 runs to his Test tally, scoring a double-century in game number 100 with one of the hardest-fought innings ever. He became just the second name behind Joe Root to score a double century in their 100^th Test match - yet another tie that binds the unlikely pair.

Over his Test career, Warner has an average of 46.67, scoring over 8000 runs with a top score of 335 not out. Warner has scored 25 centuries and 34 half-centuries.

Warner's favourite team to play is Pakistan, with who he recorded his top score and has an incredible 83.53 average. He has also wowed home crowds, scoring over 5000 runs in Australia, averaging nearly 60 with a strike rate over 70.

Here is a list of incredible records in Warner's Test career:

• Warner has the 10^th highest individual score in a Test match with 335 not out
• He is 7^th for most consecutive fifties in innings with six
• He was involved in the 8^th highest second-wicket partnership with 361
• He has the 8^th most catches in a match with six
• He is 20^th for most fours in an innings with 39, also being 28^th for all-time career fours and 23^rd for career sixes
• He is 7^th for most runs in a day with 244
• He has scored a century in a session
• He has scored over 150 on six occasions

Warner has cemented his legacy as one of Australia's best players over a decade of top performances and accolades. His 200 against South Africa in his 100th appearance is self-described as his best work, poetically summarising the grit, determination and ability of his Test career.

Although it is his 100 Tests which is most celebrated, here's a look back at his career and records in other/all forms of the game:

• He is 24^th for all-time scores above 50 runs with 129
