Warner in the last 4 tests has made 79 @ 9.88
There might be others, but the one that jumps to mind is Shaun Marsh in 2018.
3rd test in newlands: 26,0
4th test at Wanderers: 16, 7
1st test vs Pakistan in dubai, 7, 0
2nd test vs Pakistan 3, 4
63 runs at 7.88 puts him comfortably ahead (behind?) Warner for the worst slump.
Marsh was still retained for the first test in Australia, vs India at Adelaide Oval, dismissed for 2 in the first innings too.
If you include the 1 he got in the second dig of the 2nd test in South Africa, and the 2 he got in the first at Adelaide Oval, Marsh went 10 consecutive test innings for 66 runs at an average of 6.6
