Tempers flare at WACA

The Bunyip · December 17, 2009

You'd be hard pressed to find a greater mismatch than if giant Windies spinner Sulieman Benn had a punch up with short Aussie keeper Brad Haddin... yet that was almost the case at Perth today.

The pair clashed verbally and at one stage physically - as tempers in the middle reached boiling point, after Mitch Johnson and Benn accidentally collided.

All three players have been charged for the incident - Benn for a Level 2 breach, which may result in a one Test suspension if found guilty, with Haddin and Johnson both slapped with a Level 1 breach.

Take a look and decide for yourself:

All three should be ban for atleast a test maybe Benn and Johnson for five tests.

What, Benn and Johnson were entitled to do that they were both legal. But the what Benn did afterwards swearing and abusing Haddin should be punished.

Benn shouldn't of had a big sook and should've got on with the game.

----------

Benn had a big sook just coz Haddin pointed the bat at him but Benn shouldn't of pulled Johnson back

I think Sulieman Benn is just being arrogant, I dont think he will have it in him to throw anything, but you never no these days.

haha morgy bear is a ****wit!
what benn did to johnson was completely out of the context of the game and haddin was just sticking up for his mate
if anyone gets punished it should be benn

Good on Johnson
Benn was bloody holding him back going for the run and then he points his finger and his arm hits him so johnson hit him back.
