adminNEW DELHI. — India’s media yesterday lashed out at David Warner over his repeated verbal clashes with Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s touring team, demanding the aggressive Australian cricket opener be reined in.
“Brakes on motormouth Warner” and “Talkative Warner crosses the line” read two headlines in Indian newspapers after Warner was fined 50 percent of his match fee for demanding Rohit Sharma “speak English” during Sunday’s one-dayer in Melbourne.
“Warner has a knack of getting into trouble. Despite warnings in the past he does not seem to learn,” the Times of India wrote, referring to his constant run-ins with the Indians during the preceding Test series.
The Hindustan Times said Indian team managers had decided to ignore Warner rather than react to the sledging.
“The Indian team management, despite all the verbal volleys that flew from the Aussie camp, confirmed that the team had decided to not react and concentrate in getting back to winning ways,” the paper wrote. — AFP.
