During the 32nd match of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between England and Australia at The Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, David Warner was seen being involved in a heated argument with his team’s assistant coach- Ricky Ponting, at the iconic Lord’s balcony post his dismissal against England.
It is worth mentioning that the Southpaw hit yet another half-century (53 off 61) to amass his ongoing World Cup total to 500 in just 7 matches, at an average of 83.33. However, at The Lord’s, he got out against the English off-spinner Moeen Ali, after playing a pretty ordinary shot, to hand a simple catch to Joe Root at backward point.
Just a few overs post his dismissal, he was seen having a discussion with former Australian skipper Steve Smith, perhaps regarding his batting, or the way he got Out against Moeen, as is clearly visible in the video.
It is just a few seconds post that brief discussion, that Ricky Ponting makes his entry, and the duo seemed to have a sort of verbal argument between themselves.
What did exactly happen?
As per the video, Ricky Ponting seemed to have passed a comment or two, while Warner was having a word with Steve Smith. Soon after Ponting’s comments, the Southpaw got visibly angry and had a heated sort of discussion with the 3-time World champion. Steve Smith, on other hand, took a back seat and had a good time upon seeing the duo quarrel.
A few moments later, however, Warner leaned against the balcony and started smiling with a broad grin on his face.
