Australia's veteran opener David Warner hit a double century on Tuesday against South Africa in his 100th Test before being helped off the Melbourne Cricket Ground in agony. En route to three figures, the 36-year-old passed 8,000 Test runs -- the eighth Australian to do so -- after coming into the game under pressure after a lean run. His third Test double century came off 254 balls with 16 fours and two sixes in a test of endurance in the heat. He needed treatment for cramp several times and eventually retired in pain on 200, helped off the field. "They're not the words that I use and they're definitely not used in our change rooms," he said.
