David Warner is responsible for directing people to the different aisles containing sandpaper and sticky tape.
A sledging on Saturday which saw the banned international star leave the field has now prompted David Warner to quit cricket in pursuit of a career at Bunnings where he will specialise in identifying the difference between sandpaper and sticky tape.
Warner spent two minutes off the field before returning to hit a glittering 157 for Randwick-Petersham against Western Suburbs.
According to spectators at the ground, some of the left-hander’s teammates had to convince him to return to the wicket and after a short break in play, he resumed his innings but it wasn’t enough for him to continue with the game.
Now at Bunnings Alexandria has one role, and that is to direct people from the aisle where sandpaper is kept (42) to where sticky tape is situated (43).
Manager of Bunnings Alexandria Clem Gorman said, “At first it was tough for him, he just couldn’t work out the difference between the two the save him but now I think he’s got it down.”
Warner himself has finally admitted to as much, “Yeah it was hard at first. At the start I was telling people who wanted sandpaper to get sticky tape and then rough up the sticky tape with granules at the local cricket pitch and I was directing other people who wanted sticky tape to the sandpaper aisle. It was all very confusing. But with Clem and heaps and staff at Bunnings I think I now get it. I’m stoked.”
David Warner will be working at Bunnings Alexandria this Saturday for a meet and greet.
