According to Warner he told Sharma to speak English to him about the comment he made to Warner
Many players in the past from the sub continent have made comments that they know they can hide behind when the you now what hits the fan
Arjuna did this when he made a comment to Craig McDermott many years ago , Harbajan did the same with the monkey comment to Andrew Symonds
If Indian players are talking among themselves fine , speak Sikh ,Hindi that's fine
When you want to get in a sledging contest with opposition players who don't speak that language do it in a language you both understand
it was the manner in which Warner told Sharma to ' speak English '
Warners a tool , there's not many of the aussie team id have at place for a BBQ .
Haddin can be added to the 'tool' list as well IMO .

India isn't exactly the most innocent cricketing nation in terms of sledging either, but gee it's saying something when Australia is involved in a sledging incident every series with different opponents.
Poor reflection of Australia as a whole especially when you consider what the cricketing world must be saying/thinking about our national team.
Players like Warner, Haddin, Watson, Johnson, Bailey are horrible sportsmen and continually hide behind the "It's all about the competition" excuse. As GNR said, they're just a group of thugs and are a shocking representation of the people they should be portraying. An example is the whole barking incident and general behaviour during the South Africa series last year, which was plain embarassing.
Michael Clarke has also been involved in a few incidents recentely however his actions are easier to tolerate because most of the time his genuinely defending his team mates as a captain should.
Telling someone to speak english in the manner Warner did is not racist but it is pretty disrespectful. What's stopping Sharma from telling Warner to learn hindi and sledge in his preferred language ?
