"Indians guilty of over appealing and desperate antics "- David warner

[ethan hunt]

Australia batsman David Warner insists that the umpires were right not to give David Hussey out for handling the ball in Sunday's crucial clash with India at the Sydney Cricket Ground, and suggested that India's appeal was an act of desperation.

Hussey caused controversy when he stuck out his hand to knock down a ball that was headed towards the stumps while he was attempting a run, an action which India believed should have led to him being given out handling the ball.

However the onfield umpires Simon Taufel and Billy Bowden liaised with third umpire Simon Fry and decided that Hussey was protecting himself, and therefore did not give him out.

Hussey went on to score a half-century as Australia won by 87 runs, which left India with only the slightest chance of squeezing into the Commonwealth Bank Series final.

India skipper MS Dhoni said afterwards that Hussey should have been given out, but Warner backed the umpires decision and said that he would not have lodged an appeal if he had been fielding.

"At the end of the day you have got two umpires and they are the ones that control the game," Warner said.

"You just have to listen to them.

"If you appeal and it is given not out, it is not out and you get on with it."

Warner went further, saying that India had been guilty of appealing excessively all summer when things were not going their way.

"We have seen the desperation from the Indians this summer and they are (still) trying to get something out of it," he said.

"They got beat 4-0 in the Test series and now they are not doing too well in the one-dayers so they are trying to appeal for anything at the moment."

The Aussie opener also claimed that India were allowing their behaviour to have a negative impact on their performances.

"We have seen a couple of times this summer the Indian batsmen just standing their ground, but once you are out, you are out," Warner said.

"Even little things are getting on their mind like people moving behind the sightscreen.

"Not once have any of the Australian players done that and I am not sure what they have seen behind there.

"There are little things on their mind and it is obviously affecting their game."

Rubbing salt to the wounds

Warner said the Indians were still very competitive.

"They are unbelievable as a unit. When I'm batting I feel I can't get the ball past any of them because they're so athletic, the young ones in the team always move and cramp your style," he said.

"They'll find their form eventually after this series - I think they play Bangladesh next. I wish them all the best.

"They definitely haven't lost interest, never have, they're always out there for the contest.

"We know exactly what their players are like. With guys like Kohli and Raina in their team they have got aggression and are always putting their front foot forward for their country."

This guy deserves a PP smiley!!!!

Should be nominated for the most sarcastic interview ever.

At this age, players become fussy because of their reflexes getting slow. If you loose a bowlers arm for a mili second at his age you are a gonner. Dravid having the same issue in his career now and Sachin will be catching up with him in the very near future.

Anyways, it was out. Dhoni is right.

As funny as it seems (I admit), his comments are OTT.

Should have ended his remarks right here:

"At the end of the day you have got two umpires and they are the ones that control the game," Warner said. "You just have to listen to them. "If you appeal and it is given not out, it is not out and you get on with it."

Would have sufficed.

Fair enough, good response.

[Gabbar Singh]

Can't really argue with what he says here.

[wrongun]

This tour is over 100 days long now, anyone would be getting frazzled.

Ridiculous scheduling again by BCCI whose players still have another game here before they shoot off for Asian Cup.

They should have gone home for 1-2 weeks after tests to regroup.

you legend top pwnage

Warner is rapidly becoming our key media sledging guy

[Namak_Halaal]

I'm surprised Dhoni didn’t blame the Hussey incident on the inaccuracy of DRS!

[ahamedirshad123]

Do we really need Bangladesh?

[Monty786]

Lol

[Spiderguy252]

Whoops, too late Warner. We've found some form already.

Who are Australia and David Warner playing next? Trust me again, I do not know the fixtures.

No, McGrath has an element of humour and irony in his media work.

Warner is a successor in the Hayden mode, just obnoxious and kinda dumb. But if it riles the opposition, excellent....
