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.
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.

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. The Bull who bullies opposition bowlers, umpires and small children. He plays like he lives - gets on the front stool and belts the ball, and doesn't give a shit about what people think.
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

When you appoint someone called Boof as coach what do you expect?

"Australia's captain Steven Smith and coach Darren Lehmann should be held accountable for encouraging David Warner's aggressive on-field behaviour, former captain Ian Chappell has said."
Umm....that came from Ian Chappell....

@snowy People who now scream Get Off My Lawn were also a young person once...
I'm not a forgive and forget kind of guy. (ask @taniwharugby).
Nothing against TR. He just knows that companies that piss me off don't get my money. AMP
I am also old and grumpy.

The Saffers have been almighty sooks about this whole thing, as usual.
While they obviously have a better long-term record that us, they are hardly saints on this front either (Rabada's verbal send-offs have been pulled up twice in the last year, just for one).
The place it will cost them is on the field. This stuff will do what it's always done - galvanise and motivate the Australian side (who will go into 'us against the world' mode).
I'm more confident of a series victory now than I was two days ago.
