Christchurch: Australian cricket team is on a high after clean sweeping New Zealand to win the Test series to claim the top spot in Test rankings on Wednesday.
The Steve Smith-led side toppled Virat Kohli-led Indian cricket team to regain the numero uno status in world rankings. While Smith and co. had a good time in New Zealand, their opener David Warner was not pleased with some incidents that took place during the game.
The swashbuckling left-hander is not someone to shy away from having a go at the opposition. However, he was appalled by crowd’s behaviour during the tour.
Warner told ‘cricket.com.au’, "To be honest, it's something we're always going to have in our minds, it doesn't matter if you're at home or away you're going to cop some form of abuse. (But) we don't expect wake up and be hounded for six or seven hours.”
Some of the spectators heckled as Australia dominated proceedings in Christchurch during Brendon McCullum’s final international game.
The security staff was left with no other option but to evict a spectator who kept abusing Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood during fourth day’s play.
"Some of the stuff was pretty derogatory and vulgar (and) the upsetting thing was the fact that if my two daughters were in the crowd, I wouldn't want them listening to that sort of stuff. It was irrelevant what they said, but it's disappointing that it was happening in every game. A couple of bowlers who were down on the boundary got the odd banter here or there, but when they start talking about people's families it takes it a little too far,” Warner added.
"Some of the boys raised the issue, (to say) can you get rid of this bloke because it's just not necessary," said the Australian opener.
While rest of the Australian batsmen had a gala time in New Zealand, David Warne struggled to go past fifty even ones.
