Haddin did not hold back when asked for his thoughts surrounding the controversial incident.

And while Haddin believed the Proteas captain should not have been charged, he took a dim view to the South African’s behaviour.

 “I think the boys will be lining up to have a crack at Faf du Plessis,” Haddin told Triple M.

“He’s a smart arse. He’s a winning smart arse and you can be when you’re winning but I don’t think the South Africans have handled it really well to be honest.

“I didn’t think their behaviour was great during the practice game against Victoria … whether it’s right or wrong you’ve got to respect the ICC.

“…everyone’s got to shine the ball. I don’t think he should have been charged in the first place.

“But I think the way they handled it, the South Africans this week, was a bit too smug for my liking.”
