Yes, have to pay that ;D
However, how do you know what Warner said or didn’t say?
Malcolm Knox nailed it in today’s Age. Apart from asserting that he has no idea of what Warner said - and, by implication, very few people know and they aren’t saying - Knox squashes the provocation defence:
Quote:Warner’s excuse, whatever de Kock said about his wife, holds as much merit as Ben Stokes’s excuse, coming soon to a courtroom near you, for belting the bejesus out of some bloke. Short version: every hothead since Cain has thought he was provoked. It’s part of being a hothead. You suffer from provocation-sensitivity syndrome.
It seems that the Saffie fans are wearing Sonny Bill masks to get up Warner’s goat. That’s not a good look for cricket but it wouldn’t be happening if Warner wasn’t a hothead.
