BOWLS FINALS

BRETT WILKIE’S ON THE GREENS

DRAMATIC footage has emerged of David Warner being restrained by his Australian teammates in an off-field confrontation with South African wicketkeeper Quinten de Kock during the first Test in Durban, which Australia won by 118 runs.

The CCTV video, published by South African outlet Independent Media, shows a fired up Warner remonstrating with de Kock as the teams walked upstairs to the change rooms during Sunday’s tea break.

The footage shows Warner being physically held back by Usman Khawaja before being dragged away by Australian skipper Steve Smith.

South African skipper Faf du Plessis then emerges and has words with Australian wicketkeeper Tim Paine.

The incident is certain to raise further questions about Warner’s conduct after he gave a frenzied serve to Aiden Markram and AB de Villiers when the latter was run out for a duck earlier on day four.

Nathan Lyon has also come under scrutiny for dropping the ball right beside a prone de Villiers after dislodging the bails.

Australia last night took the final wicket to claim the Test.
