The bogans are not exactly known for their tact or sense of decorum are they so I wouldn't expect any different behavior from their cricket team other than what they have dished out for years.
And let's face it, most of the team are a bit thick.

Cricket isn't a sport 😉

Context needed surely, it's not because Sharma said something in an Indian lilt, which would have made Warner's comment rude. This is the pertinent bit for me:

"I said 'speak English' because, if you're going to say something for me to understand, theoretically I cannot speak Hindi."

Move on, non story.

If he said something to Warner in Hindi, it's not totally out of order to ask him for a quick translation...

More importantly, why is Warner whining to the batsman because his fielders can't field properly?

I will look forward to when they play England in this series, David Warner says something, England player turns round and says "speak English I can't understand what you're saying' 🙂

Because he took a single after the misfielded ball had deflected off the batsman. That's not really cricket taking a single in those circumstances.
