Davey has to know that sledge is always going to come if he pushes, why can't he let it go?
If what's been reported, that Davey had a crack at de Cock's mother and sister, is correct, then it's bizarre - he must know everyone has a ready-made grenade to chuck into his bunker - some of them have probably put considerable work into raising their offensive capability!
Link?

The Proteas are privately alleging that Warner referenced de Kock's sister and mother in some verbals. Separate reports claim the South African camp also briefed local media that Warner called de Kock a "bush pig". -

Warner is such a cock. He's also a great player. The Warner Paradox is those two facts exist in a symbiotic relationship - his cock-ness is necessary for his greatness.
The evidence suggests he plays his best when he's a total dick.
Bollocks.
Correlation vs causation.
Plays alright with a smile in the IPL.
The "it's war" comment sums up the intellectual short comings of this skillful cricketer.

Is it wishful thinking but I kind of imagine a McGrath v Sarwon scenario where the Aussie goes personal, cops a personal one back and loses plot because it "crosses the line" / he's an immature prat.
Well what a surprise ... seems I may have been granted that wish

@mariner4life It's in Australia isn't it?
Fucking Cantab.

McGrath is one of the all time greats and 99 times out of 100 seems like a really good bloke too but he sure came across as a dickhead that day.

He's one of those unique characters that exist very rarely across all sports. Aussie cricket does have a habit of producing them - I reckon Hayden and McGrath are two others who fit this mould as well. Steve Waugh maybe, but he was a little bit less brash.
I'd argue that in this side currently he's the only real cnt. Lyon and the quicks have their moments, but nobody commits to the persona like our Davey.
Fuck I hate that name, too. Have you ever met a decent bloke who people call Davey?
Brad Haddin is the worst Australian who's ever existed.

It's not too hard to see why test cricket is fucked. SA v Aus is a massive series. And no one turned up.
People seem interested now. Warner is the saviour of Test cricket

Low ratings? Legends of the game love retelling their sledging stories to all and sundry. Incorporate the sledging into the broadcast. Insant hype. Make the game great again.

Whatever happened between Candice Warner and Sonny Bill Williams and multiple others has no place on the cricket pitch.
absolutely this. It should be left in the pub toilet, where it belongs.

Warnie would be the obvious one from that era wouldn't he?
Chappelli, Thommo, Lillee, Kim Hughes, Greg Matthews, Craig McDermott, Brett Lee, Michael Clarke - seemingly pretty brash characters

Warne was more along the lines of the clever quipster that would make a perfectly timed and targeted comment to derail concentration.
Unfortunately that's what all the other boorish players think they are doing but instead they have the subtlety of a mullet.The convicts truly can't understand what they are doing wrong as it is how they are brought up playing like that. It is a part of the game from youth levels up.
Edit: why do Oz think they have the right to decide where the line in the sand is drawn? What is acceptable or not surely differs between cultures?

DDD cleared to play.

Smith, Lehmann culpable in Warner episode - Chappell
Ian Chappell is of the opinion that the Australian vice-captain is encouraged to engage in aggressive on-field behaviour by his captain and coach, who must also be punished
