Cricket Australia (CA) have told their under-fire team the unsavoury incident involving opening batsman David Warner during the first Test against South Africa was unacceptable and warned them about their behaviour for the rest of the series. "Australia has always prided itself on taking a highly competitive approach to international cricket. The pugnacious opening batsman said that he had exploded at De Kock, who was fined 25 percent of his match fee, for 'vile and disgusting' comments the wicketkeeper allegedly made about Warner's wife. He also gave opening batsman Aiden Makram a huge verbal spray after he was culpable for the run out of team mate AB de Villiers. "CA has reminded the team of the standards of behaviour expected of players representing Australia," Sutherland said.
