Former Australia Test captain Steve Waugh says cricketer David Warner&rsquo;s comments about England batsman Jonathan Trott were &ldquo;out of order&rdquo; and had crossed the line. <img alt="Jonathan Trott" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Jonathan-Trott_3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 746px;" /> Jonathan Trott during the first Test against Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane last week. Pic/Getty Images. Trott made a shock departure from the Ashes tour earlier this week after the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) revealed that he was suffering from a stress-related illness. Warner&rsquo;s comments Australia&rsquo;s Warner has attracted criticism for comments he made during the first Brisbane Test in which he described Trott as &ldquo;poor and weak&rdquo;.u00a0Trott had a difficult time playing tearaway Australia speedster Mitchell Johnson and was dismissed for 10 and nine in the first Test. <img alt="Steve Waugh" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Steve-Waugh_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 429px;" /> Steve Waugh Waugh, who was regarded as a hard-bitten and competitive Test captain, was critical of Warner&rsquo;s comments made at a post-stumps media conference during the Brisbane Test, which Australia won by 381 runs. <img alt="David Warner" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/David-Warner_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 598px;" /> David Warner &ldquo;I think Dave Warner&rsquo;s comments were out of order. I don&rsquo;t believe you should comment on someone else personally on the opposition,&rdquo; Waugh said on the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust website.u00a0&ldquo;He can make a generic comment, but I think when you get personal like that, you cross the line on how players treat each other, and the respect they should have.u00a0&ldquo;So I didn&rsquo;t agree with Dave&rsquo;s comments, having said that, he probably did smell a bit of fear in the England opposition players. &ldquo;Unfortunately for Jonathan Trott, it was a personal issue, and you don&rsquo;t want to keep going on about that.u00a0&ldquo;You just want him to get better and get well. So I think that hopefully has been put behind in that last Test match, and won&rsquo;t be brought up again.&rdquo;
