• Umpires intervene to calm down Australian batsman
• Warner in conflict with Thami Tsolekile
David Warner was involved in an on-field argument with opponent Thami Tsolekile while batting for Australia A against South Africa A. The incident, the latest in a list of public confrontations involving the 26-year-old, came as he tried to win a recall to Australia's side for the third Ashes Test.
It was serious enough for the umpires to call a halt to the game while they spoke to the pair, with Warner batting in Australia A's second innings. It was the second time during his innings of 33 that the umpires had intervened in an altercation between the players, which had its roots in Friday's play, when Tsolekile was unhappy at remarks made to him by the Australians as he compiled 159.
The wicketkeeper had to be pulled away from the second incident on Saturday by team-mate Vaughn van Jaarsveld as the umpires called for calm.
"No report has been filed by the umpires and no action will therefore be taken," said Cricket Australia in a statement.
Warner made 193 in the first innings of the match to boost his chances of a recall to the test team. Reported by guardian.co.uk 16 hours ago.
