In an explosive CCTV footage that ha෴s emerged, several Australian players had to restrain opener David Warner, who is seen having a heated exchange♕ with South African wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock at Tea on day four of the first Test.
According to the Australian media reports, the altercation toꦚok place following the exuberant🌠 celebrations by the Aussies after the run-out of South African star batsman AB de Villiers.
Emotions seemed to have boiled over as the players mಌade their way to their respective dressing rooms with Warner seen l🌳aunching a fiery tirade at De Kock.

In the footage, players from both teams can be seen walking up the stairs and making their way back to their respective dressing rooms. But su🐷ddenly Warner emerges, being pushed back by Usman Khawaja.
Smith and Khawaja try to take Warner into the dressing room but the Australian vice-captain was havinཧg none of it and tries to confront De Kock who is just behind a few Australian players. Tim Paine joins Khawaja in trying to restrain Warner, who continues to fire verbal volleys at De Kock. South African captain Faf du Plessis can also be seen emerging in a towel following the ruckus. Finally, Warner is taken away from the scene by cap🌸tain Steve Smith.
However, the cricket frater💯nity seems divided over the incident. While some fe♑el that Warner must have only reacted this way after a personal attack being hurled at him, some said that if Warner knows how to attack others he should also be up for the taking.
U☂gly scenes in Durban. Can only assume something very personal has been throw at for tꦜhis type of reaction. Not a good look all round.

Gilly- 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!
But agreed not a good look.— Graeme Smith (@GraemeSmith49)

Totally agree Big Bird … If you are going to give it out & many times he has got close to the personal bone he has to expect a comeback …
