Melbourne: Cricket legend Shane Warne has come under fire for questioning Australian players on whether they were "thirsty" and how long their celebratory drinking session would last after they won the World Cup. Commentator Warne was on the field, microphone in hand, to interview players immediately after their seven-wicket win over New Zealand in the sport's one-day showcase on Sunday.

"Are you feeling thirsty?" he asked wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, who assured him he was ready to try to have a beer with every one of the 93,013 spectators at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He went on to enquire of batsman Steve Smith: "Are you going to have a bit of a drink tonight too Smitty? Are you going to get thirsty as well?"
