The proud father couldn’t wipe the smile off his face when the little boy threw him a ball.
Candice watched from the stands, the 37-year-old watching with concentration during the match.
The sweet moment comes after Candice revealed how cricket fans at Adelaide Oval hit her with a wave of abuse while she was with her children during the second Test against the West Indies.

The incident occurred last Saturday afternoon, just before lunchtime, when two of the Warners’ three daughters wanted to see their father David.
Candice made the 200-meter walk from one section of the stadium to another hand in hand with her daughters when the group of men abused her.
‘As we were passing a large group of people, it was a group of five or six men who decided [hurl abuse]’, he told the Summer Breakfast Triple M radio show.

The 36-year-old crouched down to play with the two-year-old, who was wearing a sweet sundress.
They were extremely, fair, hurling vile abuse at me. So I kept walking and then I stopped and looked at this group of men, and it was one guy in particular.
They laughed and pointed and thought what they had done was right.
So I decided to take on these guys. I didn’t have to, but with my girls in hand I thought it was really important to face them.

‘Because for us, my actions must reflect the messages that I give to my children.’
Candice said that the group’s response when she confronted them was revealing.
“Like any group of men who have been drinking, they were weak, they had no guts, they didn’t recognize what they did and the man who was actually yelling this abuse was hiding behind his friend,” he said.
Candice made the 200-meter walk from one section of the stadium to another holding hands with her daughters when the group of men abused her.
“I just said, ‘Are you okay with yourself trying to bully me, put me down, embarrass me in front of my kids? You clearly don’t have kids. It’s not okay. It’s not okay to bully someone. It’s not okay to make fun of other people.”
“The sad thing is that at a time when we are trying to encourage more women [and] more young girls to participate in sport, to attend sport, that now I’m starting to feel that it’s not safe for me and my sons to attend sport and support their father.’
Candice said it was equally disappointing that no one in the crowd defended them or even checked on their well-being after the shocking attack.
‘As we were passing a large group of people, it was a group of five or six men who decided [hurl abuse]’, he told the Triple M Summer Breakfast radio show.
