Chris Rogers has revealed the day he launched a rocket at David Warner.
In his autobiography, Bucking The Trend, Rogers says after several incidents, the day finally came when he had to put the opener in his place.
Rogers copped a lot of barbs from his opening partner, but had finally had enough during a Test against South Africa at Centurion in 2014.
“While we were fielding, he (Warner) yelled at me from across the field that I wasn’t being vocal enough, a moment where I felt I had to draw the line,” Rogers writes.
“It was a windy day, so the fact I had been offering encouragement to our bowlers must have been lost on the breeze. So I stopped the game and yelled right back.
“The argument went back and forth for about 45 seconds, much to the bemusement of the batsmen and the amusement of everyone else.
“At the end of the day I went up to Davey and said, ‘Right, we’ve got to discuss this. I don’t care who you are, you never yell at me in the middle of the game. If you’ve got a problem, come and say it to me in private.’
“Davey listened, never did again and we were better for it.”
