Australia Day — perfect timing for David Warner to check with the Indians to see if they are all fluent sledgers in English.

To be honest, Warner may first have to brush up on the mastery of his own tongue before he contemplates becoming fluent in any of the other languages spoken throughout the mainstream cricket world. It is laughable that he urges Rohit Sharma to speak English when he himself cannot grasp the simple rules of grammar. Check this quote out — on so many levels, it makes him look like, like, like...Warner.
