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. “The events of day four in Durban have unfortunately marred an otherwise very good test match and a dominant performance by the Australian men’s team,” CA chief executive James Sutherland said in a statement on Friday. “Australia has always prided itself on taking a highly competitive approach to international cricket. 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.
