Disgraced Australian opener David Warner walked off the field mid-innings after being sledged during a Sydney grade game on Saturday, reports said.<\/p>\n
The former Test vice-captain, who is serving a 12-month ban from international and state cricket for his role in a ball-tampering scandal, was batting for his club Randwick-Petersham at the time.<\/p>\n
He had moved into the 30s when the incident unfolded, news.com.au reported.<\/p>\n
The left-hander was apparently not happy with a jibe from an opposition player and told an umpire he was removing himself from the game.<\/p>\n
According to reports, a number of his teammates talked him into returning and he agreed after several minutes, going on to smash a century.<\/p>\n
The drama lit up social media, with many not happy at Warner\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, it is all about him,\u201d said one Twitter comment. \u201cUmpires are there to deal with on field incidents, but not David ME ME ME Warner.\u201d<\/p>\n
But the polarising figure also won support, with one fan calling for his immediate reinstatement to the struggling Australian team.<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid Warner has scored another century today 100 not out. Cricket Australia reinstate the legend,\u201d tweeted Dan Stapleton.<\/p>\n
Warner, along with Steve Smith, was sent home in disgrace and banned over the tampering scandal during the third Test in South Africa in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
