Sydney: David Warner sledged Steve Smith during the Big Bash cricket. During the match between Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunders, Warner tried to provoke his teammate in the Australian national team. Steve Smith was the opener for Sydney Sixers who batted first in the match. After losing the toss, David Warner sledged the Sixers opener when he reached the crease and scored.

“Nothing distracts him. Nothing can do that. He has got a mark on his leg. He is upset about it.”- Warner said. The commentators are also laughing at this. Smith did not respond to Warner’s teasing and was dismissed on the very first ball, shocking the commentators. Smith got out after being caught by Nathan McAndrew on a ball thrown by Daniel Sams.

The video footage of the incident has gone viral on social media. But Steve Smith’s team won the match. Batting first, Sydney Sixers scored 151 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Thunders were bowled out for 132 runs in 19.5 overs. Sixers won by 19 runs. Thunders opener Warner scored 37 runs off 39 balls.

A week ago, Warner played the last match of his Test career at the Sydney Cricket Stadium where the Big Bash match was held. Warner announced in Sydney that he has retired from the ODI format as well. It was also big news that the helicopter that Warner was traveling in for the previous day’s Big Bash match landed on the ground at the Sydney Stadium.
