Waugh has stayed quiet, and refused to chuck fuel on the fire, which is a solid strategy ('control the communication' as the PR guys call it).
If you go through the archives, history is littered with incidents concerning the Waugh(s) and Victorians, of which Warne is obviously one. The deep seated antipathy seemed to start with sledging during Shield games, the Elliot incident didn't win friends, and dropping Warne in the Caribbean for MacGill caused a lot of bad blood. Coupled with a perception that Victorian players (Jones, Elliot, Hodge) were overlooked for NSW players and you get the picture.
Neither state has particularly liked each other at state level for decades.
