X
The first test between South Africa-Australia teams in Durban grabbed the attention of the cricket lovers across the globe for the wrong reasons. The verbal exchanges between Aussies vice-captain David Warner, SA wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock took a new turn when a local media revealed that a CCTV footage in the corridor of the dressing room.

The players were going to the dressing room in the tea break and both started arguing with each other. Warner started abusing De Kock and he reciprocated verbally. Angered with De Kock's words, Warner tried to attack him but his colleagues stopped him. Captain Smith came out and took Warner to the dressing room later.

As their video was out, Cricket Australia started an enquiry on the whole incident. While speaking about the incident, Australian captain Steve Smith said that it all started when Quinton De Cock made derogatory comments on Warner's wife Candice.

Responding to the issue, former SA player Graeme Smith tweeted that "Warner crossed many personal boundaries with the South Africans, so we can’t be surprised when there is eventually a reaction. If players are happy to give it, they have to be prepared to take it, too. On both sides!"

Meanwhile, Shane Warne downplayed the issue suggesting the players to leave those things on the ground itself. He tweeted "Chat, banter, sledging has always been apart of any series between SA & Oz. Both sides always give it out. Respect is the key & I hope nothing personal was said to any player towards anyone from either side. Have a beer together afterwards & get on with it - stop the whinging !"

On the other hand referee, Jeff Crowe conducting an enquiry into the whole issue and he will announce his decision once he goes through the evidence.
