Sydney: Former Australia Test captain Steve Waugh says cricketer David Warner’s comments about England batsman Jonathan Trott were “out of order” and had crossed the line.
Trott made a shock departure from the Ashes tour earlier this week after the ECB revealed that he was suffering from a stress-related illness. Australia’s Warner has attracted criticism for comments he made during the first Brisbane Test in which he described Trott as “poor and weak”. Trott had a difficult time playing tearaway Australia speedster Mitchell Johnson and was dismissed for 10 and nine in the first Test.
“I think Warner’s comments were out of order. I don’t believe you should comment on someone else personally on the opposition,” Waugh said on the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust website. (PTI)
