[King Elvis]

Well, I think he's a massive dickhead, but it'll be pretty funny if he belted one of the Poms.

My thoughts too.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Most fight we'll show all of the tour!

 

[Xtreme]

French fry short of a happy meal that guy

 

[Spud Patrol]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'VE HAD ENOUGH! Spud Patrol is here and hes spitting ****in spuds! What kind of flog is this good for nothing dimwit of a New South Welshmen. The times have changed BigFooty and it's the era of the Victorians. No more alcoholic Tasmanians or tweet weilding light blue spuds. This Flog David Warner can GET STUFFED. Bring him home and send him to f**king Adelaide!

Yeah nah, yeah nah, the 'radio' is saying that he biffed Root

 

[Santana]

A sport in crisis really.

Don't worry though. The leadership of Cricket Australia will get the sport through it!

 

[Plugger35]

A blow to NZ's chances tonight with Warner out.

 

[Grimwood]

Root? Of all the England players to get in a scrap with...

 

[Torz]

A blow to NZ's chances tonight with Warner out.

They'll have to come up against show now.

 

[who gives a]

he really is a very naughty boy

 

[Jamurp]

Root v Warner? Not exactly Chappell v Botham is it.

 

[Ducky Tie]

I've never disliked a player more than Warner. He talks a big game and tries to act like a big man off the field, but backs it up with rubbish performances and dumb acts. Him being out is clearly a good thing for Aus, regardless of who takes his spot.

I know somebody mentioned ponting's early booze issues but i can't see warner turning things around, unlike in ponting's day warner can go back to his 6 week booze fest otherwise known as the ipl and still make a great living from cricket.

You have to think CA played a part in this as well, they sack players for not doing homework on a test tour but from the rumours going round warner spent the entire ipl pissed and acting like a dickhead but CA aren't going to rock the boat and discipline one of their players while they are playing the ipl.

p.s. root? all the dickheads like broad anderson swann in that team and he takes on a harmless kid?

Mate they can't, IPL occurs during the six week leave period granted under the memorandum of understanding with the ACA, he can pretty much do what he likes while he's on leave - except get involved in Twitter wars with journo's

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Nice headline in the West Australian, 'Warner Root-ed'.

 

[damochandler]

time for cricket australia to shake up the team and team mangaement'

maybe joe root was showing davey the english version of a dry root

Ah fair enough, but the fact they allowed our players to be off the leash for 6 weeks is just as bad.

CA have pretty much tied their future to a combination of 20/20 cricket and indian money and i can see us producing a whole generation of entitled dickheads like warner because of it.

Ha, yeah, and one of the UK online papers says something like: "Warner dropped after Root attack"

 

[the_interloper]

Culture.

and on the field

 

[maxmustard]

entitled dickheads

This sums it up for me with not only Warner, but a lot of Australian professional athletes at the moment.

Yep, spot on - unfortunately.
