Making no secret of the fact he was celebrating the end of his Test cricket career, David Warner has been spotted with some Australian hangover essentials after a big night of celebrations.
The batsman left his final Test match to an appreciative roar from the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday after being dismissed for 57.
Afterwards it was time to celebrate, with a stellar 15-year career now behind him.

Warner was spotted on Sunday morning carrying a box of gluten-free doughnuts and a bottle of alcohol.
He emerged from his Maroubra home alongside wife Candice Warner, flashing a thumbs-up at photographers eager to capture his second day after calling curtains on his time in the long form of the game.
Dressed casually in a T-shirt and sports shorts, with no shoes, Warner was seen climbing into his car in the driveway of his Maroubra home, his eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses.

Dance Monkey star Tones and I entertained Australia’s cricketers with a live performance at the Ivy Penthouse in Sydney’s CBD on Saturday night.
Players and their partners were dancing long 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.

The cricket star was sober for two-and-a-half years, giving up alcohol when wife Candice Warner fell pregnant with their first child, Ivy Mae.
He remained sober until their second daughter Indi Rae was born.
Last week Warner confirmed he was also retiring from one-day international cricket, but he is hoping to play in the Big Bash League as early as this Friday.
‘I’m definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well. That was something I had said through the World Cup and get through that and winning it in India I think that’s a massive achievement so I make that decision from those forms,’ he said.
‘It does allow me to go play some other leagues around the world and get the [Australian] one-day team moving forward a little bit.
‘I know there’s a Champions Trophy coming up and if I’m playing decent cricket still in two year’s time and they need someone, I’m going to be available.’
