Switchblade Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Rohit Sharma said something in Hindi, I said ‘speak in English': David Warner after fine for verbal spat http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/david-warner-fined-for-spat-with-rohit-sharma/99/ Australian opener David Warner has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee for a verbal spat with Indian batsman Rohit Sharma during an ODI tri-series cricket match but defended himself by insisting that he was merely asking his rival to “speak English”. Warner revealed that he has been fined during a radio interview after yesterday’s match which Australia won by four wickets. The swashbuckling opener said although getting involved in the altercation was not right but maintained that he did nothing wrong by asking Rohit to speak in English. The showdown took place at the end of the 23rd over of India’s innings when Rohit charged for a single on an overthrow, much to the displeasure of the Australians. “On the cricket etiquette side of things when you throw a ball to the keeper and it hits a player you don’t run,” Warner said on ‘Sky Sports Radio’. “A few of the boys said something to him and when I went over to say something he sort of said something in their language and I said ‘speak English’, because if you’re going to say something for me to understand theoretically, I cannot speak Hindi. “So I did the polite thing and asked him to speak English, therefore he did, and I can’t repeat what he said. I thought I was okay by asking him to speak English and I’m going to say it a couple of times if he keeps saying it in Hindi. I got slapped on the wrist yesterday by the ICC, I shouldn’t have engaged him and should have went to the other side to my fielding position, but I didn’t,” he recalled. Warner said Rohit should have desisted from taking the single as the ball had ricocheted off his legs. “The guys behind the wicket said it hit him. I walked in because I presumed it hit him as well. I was in the wrong. What he was saying to me I asked him to speak English,” he said. “I got in trouble for engaging the player, which technically you’re not allowed to do that now … You’re not supposed to walk at the player. It was between overs and I should have walked around to my fielding position,” Warner said. The Aussies were also guilty of being slow with their over-rate which resulted in a shorter mid-innings break. “If he (Australian captain George Bailey) … gets banned for a game, the coach will be very, very unimpressed,” Warner said. “Some of us dawdled between overs here and there. Yeah you do get some credit with time noted about MS Dhoni taking his shoe off. The umpires go through that with a fine toothed comb and they’ve still done us. “We’ve got to be better than that. No way in the world should a guy who’s captaining his country be suspended for agame. It’s our fault.”
~ Miss Warner ~ Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Wow people loveeeeeeee playing the race card these days don't they? Talk about mountains out of mole hills... It's absurd that the word racism was ever mentioned in this circumstance. Rohit was verbally abusing Warner in Hindi (perhaps deservedly), and Warner told him to speak English, because if you are going to abuse somebody its pretty cowardly to do it in a language that you know they don't understand. Nothing in it, in-fact I think its great, spices things up! I'm all for Warner, Rohit, Virat and whoever else showing a bit of aggression, it creates atmosphere, which cricket is sadly lacking these days with the terribly slow over rates and political correctness.

WOW people like to make things up. Can you please quote a single player or BCCI official who called it racist? Its the press (including in Australia) that is criticising. If the match referee thought of it as racist then the punishment would have been harsher than 50% match fee.

India always plays the victim card, how precious are you guys?
Desi Cartman Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 India always plays the victim card' date=' how precious are you guys?[/quote'] hmmm I didnt hear "victim card" when Aussies complained of racism, here no official has complained so far. We havent even complained and we are "precious". Oh BTW do you think calling players "black c u nts" amounts to racism? Maybe the Lankans were too precious too.
Desi Cartman Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 He's talking about people on the forums. You mean "her"? English :giggle:

moniker Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 India always plays the victim card' date=' how precious are you guys?[/quote'] Who do you mean by "India"? Is it the whole Indian team, all the Indian fans, or one or two guys on the interwebs whose comments fit your agenda so that it's convenient enough for you to brandish that broad paintbrush of yours?

FischerTal Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 good player but needs to keep a check on his attitude
Desi Cartman Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Not only India' date=' but most persons supports his country when they are on the receiving end and suppirts them when they initiate it.[/quote'] Seriously, English please ?

Just like you avoided commenting on Darren L.'s comment, you think I also purposely ignored the previous comments. Maybe I didn't see those comments or had nothing to say about them or maybe I read and thought it wasn't important to reply.
HippoSucks Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Seriously' date=' English please ?[/quote'] No spaces before question marks, please. :giggle: But seriously, it is hard to type on a phone. I've edited the post. No, I mean "she". "Her" wouldn't make sense in that sentence. :winky: Anyway I don't check the gender of the poster when I refer to them unless I remember it offhand.

Zero_Unit Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 You have to admit, brown people's accent is the funniest English accent out there. Our people are the living proof of that.
