Warner is a proper bell. Who knew? Oh wait, everyone. Everyone knew.

Hello, what going on here. Umpires have stopped the game because Warner and Tsolekile are having a proper go at each other.

stuart hess ‏@shockerhess 7m

Umpire Johan Cloete had to step in there. Warner and Tsolekile appeared to blame the other for whatever is going on.

Vaughn van Jaarseveld had to pull Tsolekile away. That's the 2nd time since Warner started batting the umpires have had to step in.

Apparently Warner was dishing out some nasty abuse while Tsolekile was batting yesterday. Tsolekile kept quiet, until now.

tsoletkile seems like a pretty cool dude so this is out of line imo

 

[Spikey]

but if tsoletkile was wearing a wig...........

 

[91Jmay]

I can't respect David Warner after all day socks.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Warner still just about certain to play the 3rd test imo, whether i agree with that or not is irrelevant

Depends how the argument on the field is viewed but i'd say he probably will play ahead of Hughes.

 

[grecian]

Whys Eddie Leie not playing, I've adopted him as my Saffie player, and despite never seeing him play he's clearly a god.

 

[Burgey]

Dave "Changed Man" Warner.

Few, if any, redeeming features as a human being.

Apparently wears decent socks though.

I think poor old Davey's idea of friendly banter must differ to the rest of us.......

Warner, however, termed the incident "friendly banter" as he took to Twitter after the match: "Great to be back playing cricket, had lots of fun this week and a bit of friendly banter from the wicket keeper. Was very funny!!"

Warner got into a war of words with Tsolekile during the final day's play, with the pair having to be separated by South Africa A's Vaughn van Jaarsveld, and the umpires having to intervene.

Apart from Warner's first innings 193 runs, the most telling story from that scorecard is that the much vaunted Fawad Ahmed, and Coulter-Nile, Henriques, Maxwell, and the other two bowlers couldn't stop a second string South African XI from scoring 614 runs in their only digs.

Remember when Warner was considered captaincy materiel? Jeez.

You cares if he can rattle off another 193 runs at Old Trafford and liven-up the batting order a bit. It's runs that Australia needs not pristine behaviour.

 

[Adders]

England's tactics for OT will be pretty clear and pretty basic..........Get in Warners ear until he cracks and plants one on one of us.

He has set himself up for some serious verbal onslaught every time he walks to the crease.

Has a punch ever been thrown in a test match before?? Closest I can think of is Lillee V's Miandad but it didn't come to much.

 

[Riggins]

i'm sure he's gonna be kept up all night by the thought of jimmy throwing punches..

I think you've missed the point mate.

 

[Riggins]

i was being deliberately obtuse.

ZoBro.. mate...

 

[Adders]

i was being deliberately obtuse.

Oh right, and here was me thinking it was a bit of neanderthal chest thumping.......my bad.

 

[Riggins]

Warner seems like the kind of guy who would have copped abuse every time he's batted for his whole life. I'd be surprised if they'd say anything he hadn't heard before. If he plays and fails I doubt it would have been because of it.
