David Warner posts a beery photo after his last game for Australia - but it's NOTHING like what you'd expect - as wife Candice has a very surprising reaction

David Warner has posted a photo after milestone matchInternational career ended with Aussie loss at World CupWife Candice in out-of-character reaction on social media 

David Warner has posted a classy photo to social media after his international career came to a sad end as Australia were knocked out of the T20 World Cup before the semi-finals.

The country's most prolific walking headline and hard-hitting batter, Warner bowed out with a prod to first slip against India while most Aussies were still asleep at around 3am on Tuesday.

It was a long way from the fanfare that went with Warner's last Test at the SCG in January, which included an almost week-long saga about his missing Baggy Green cap.

Nor was it anything like his ODI exit, which saw him celebrate a second World Cup title last November.

Instead, this was in front of a half-full Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia, as Australia fought to keep their T20 World Cup alive.

Even after Australia were beaten by 24 runs and he left the ground for a final time, Warner still didn't know if his international career was over.

The end finally arrived when he was back at the team's hotel, watching on as Afghanistan triumphed over Bangladesh in dramatic style and sealed their spot in the semi-finals ahead of Australia.

Travis Head told media that the team would have a boozy send-off for Warner afterwards, but no photos have been posted of the party at the time of writing.

Warner later posted a photo of himself having a beer with young opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, the player widely tipped to take over from him - but other than that, there have been no signs of him celebrating his career with teammates

Instead, Warner has shared a photo of himself with young opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, the player widely tipped to take over from him.

Warner and Fraser-McGurk are enjoying a beer in photo, which is captioned: 'All yours now champion.'

The youngster has posted an image to his own social media toasting Warner's glittering career for Australia.

Meanwhile, Warner's wife Candice has posted nothing to her social media about her husband's last match for Australia, which is highly unusual.

The former champion ironwoman is known for staunchly backing her husband and regularly taking to Instagram to congratulate him on his achievements and defend him from criticism.

She and their three daughters did not make the trip to the Caribbean to join Warner at the World Cup.

Warner finishes as Australia's second-most prolific run-scorer in history across all formats, stuck on 18,995 runs, behind only Ricky Ponting's 27,483.

As an opener, he remains unmatched: Australia's most prolific in Test and T20 cricket, while sitting second only to Adam Gilchrist at the top of the order in ODIs.

The left-hander burst on to the scene as a first-of-his-kind type player, blazing 89 from 43 balls against South Africa at the MCG.

He now finishes as one of only five players to be a world champion in Test, ODI and T20 cricket, completing the sport's triple-crown in England last year.

The left-hander will continue in Twenty20 franchise leagues, and should be back in the Big Bash League next summer with Sydney Thunder.
