David Warner scuffle in South Africa

By Peter Hayter

Just when Australia thought things could not get any worse, they were on Saturday night forced to respond to reports of more bad behaviour by disgraced batsman David Warner.

Warner, who punched England opener Joe Root in a nightclub ahead of the Ashes, was hoping to return to the Australia side for the third Test at Old Trafford, starting this Thursday.

But on Saturday he had to be separated from wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile during his 33-run second innings in the drawn match between Australia A and South Africa A in Pretoria, with umpires forced to call a halt to the game twice. Tsolekile was so incensed by Warner?s remarks that he had to be pulled away by team-mate Vaughn van Jaarsveld.

Warner is due to rejoin Australia?s Ashes squad on Monday and, after making 193 in his first innings, was widely expected to play at Old Trafford. But this latest show of ill-discipline could change things.

When making a public apology following his altercation with Root, Warner said: ?I?ve let my team-mates, my family and everyone down. It?s up to me to be accountable for my actions.?

On Saturday night, Cricket Australia issued a statement claiming they had received no reports from the match officials and that, therefore, ?no action will be taken?.
