Brutal!

Warner has obviously been told to go after the English both on and off the field. This has been the case for many Ashes now.

Check out the replies to this tweet. All of the English fans are having a go at Warner being a feather track bully.

Burn of the highest order. Any idea what triggered this?

 

[Markhor]

Good natured sledging.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Im sure Swann felt this .ouch..

Swann is a terrible commentator, I have to mute when hes on.

 

[as-95]

Hated Swann. Vile and foul mouthed player who was mentally weak enough to quit during a tour. Good to see Warner putting him in place.

 

[Saj]

Bringing back some bitter memories for Swann.

Straight and big hit from Warner.

 

[pakistani pride]

Ouch!

 

[Bewal Express]

Good natured banter, much better than his foul mouth sledging on the pitch.

 

[Gilly]

Yeah all good fun, though some teams would find reason to be "offended".

 

[kingusama92]

Damn, that's good.

 

[JattMaula]

Burn!!!

 

[giri26]

Just a banter from these two. Nothing serious.

 

[shane]

A bit cheap and not particularly funny from Warner. Demonstrates the kind of low-class person that he is.

As for Swann, he said something on commentary which I found especially irritating. It was something like "I never lost an Ashes series because I left half-way through". He seemed to realise as soon as he said it just how awful it sounded. But he seems to be the kind of person who speaks before he thinks, and it is mostly innocent. Warner (who himself has been a waste of $$$ this series) makes calculated below-the-belt attacks for no reason.

All sledging funny, the ones that dont appreciate it on and of the field are those that cant do it or cant think of a good comeback to it! Sledging in different forms is a part of every sport i can think of. The only ones i have come across in my 20 years of playing sport that cant handle it, are those that are either dumb as a box of rocks,not quick witted, angry chip on there shoulder people {i loved these the most, so easy to put of there game} and cry babies. There is no below the belt in sledging as long as you dont go into areas like cancer etc. Good players and people laugh it off and get on with it

 

[James]

Haha, good one from Warner.

Swann was a world-class bowler, but I have been disappointed with his commentary which has been pretty poor. His sense of humour has lost its subtle cheekiness and now seems more forced.

 

[Chrish]

Swann is a tool.. Much like Warner!

 

[HuzaifaE]

That's pretty savage to be fair to him

 

[volcyz]

Michael Vaughn is a much worse commentator with his useless stats

 

[ExpressPacer]

Ironic coming from a flat track bully himself but that's good baby right there, have to give him that.

I remember him scoring a ton vs NZ in Hobart greentop

 

[volcyz]

I remember him scoring a ton vs NZ in Hobart greentop

I can also remember Sehwag scoring 2 centuries in the 2002 series of greentop wonderlands in NZ

 

[ExpressPacer]

I remember him scoring a ton vs NZ in Hobart greentop

I remember Glenn Maxwell scoring a century once, doesn't make him Bradman, does it? A single good innings in hundreds of opportunities is worth the same as the T in tsunami.

So who is Piers Morgan laughing at?

Swann

He himself taunted Swann for running away from tour long before Warner.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Pretty funny from Warner. It definitely worked.

Morgan felt that Swann was part of the group that included the likes of Broad and Anderson who ganged up on KP.

 

[Hasan123]

Lol good banter.

 

[MenInG]

Lol good banter.

Not sure if this is good banter

Warner send off for Joe Root

 

[Gilly]

Probably saying "hey Joe whats your conversion rate".

 

[AMSS]

Probably saying "hey Joe whats your conversion rate".

Warner has the best lines

 

[Junaids]

I’ve got very mixed feelings.

Swann was a bully in the England dressing room, in the clique with Anderson, Prior and Broad which got rid of Pietersen by making him an outcast amongst all but the junior players.

And I felt very sorry for Warner a month ago when the Barmy Army started singing that vile song about one of his wife’s most notorious scandals in her private life.

But still, it’s a bit strong to accuse a retired has-been of cowardice.

Its true though.

 

[SM1989]

Graeme Swann deserved being sledged given his cowardice. Having said that Warner is also a low class individual.
