Inside David Warner's retirement party as pop icon performs at cricket superstar's farewell party

David Warner was given a fitting send-off after his farewell in Sydney, with an Australian pop sensation performing at his farewell party.

Warner, 37, sailed into the sunset on Saturday after Australia secured a 3-0 win over Pakistan at the SCG, with the experienced opener moving away from red-ball cricket and the 50-over format.

Warner has spent most of his illustrious career battling the odds and the feisty Australian chose a musical act with a similar rags-to-riches story to perform at his party, which he hosted himself.

Dance Monkey star Tones and I entertained the Australian cricketers with a live performance described as 'stunning' by The Daily Telegraph at the Ivy Penthouse on Saturday evening.

Tones and I – real name Toni Watson – wrote Dance Monkey as a tribute to her busking days. Elton John said her song was one of the best pop records ever.

He thanked his wife Candice and their three children in his farewell speech

Players and their partners danced late into the night to toast Warner's career and their memories of conquering the world of cricket with their teammate.

Warner gave a speech thanking his teammates before paying special tribute to his wife Candice, their three daughters and his family.

“It's always box office with Davey,” said captain Pat Cummins after the Test. He attended the party with his wife Becky.

'There's always something going on.

'Even when he misses the runs, he does something in the field, or he does a dance on the sideline. I think we're going to miss that.

'From a team point of view, we spend a lot of our lives on the road in hotel rooms, when there is so much to do.

“But Davey always brings that energy and excitement to the group.

'Every group needs a few people for that, otherwise it becomes quite mundane. We'll miss him.'
