Cricketers Shane Warne and Marlon Samuels treated the world to something not before seen on a cricket field yesterday. Click through for the enthralling altercation.

Yesterday, during Australia’s T20 Big Bash League clash between the Melbourne Stars and the Melbourne Renegades, something happened on a cricket field that one might expect to happen during a football match or a WWE wrestling exchange.

Reports Stuff:

The incidents that drew the misconduct charges were when Warne approached Samuels soon after the West Indian arrived at the crease, tugged at his shirt, swore at him and gestured angrily.

It was seemingly remonstration for an incident earlier in the match when Samuels grabbed Stars batsman David Hussey’s shirt to prevent him attempting a run.

Warne also struck batsman Samuels on the body with the ball with an underarm throw while fielding.

Samuels, who hurled his bat in response to Warne’s antics, is also facing several charges, although it is uncertain when they will be heard as he is nursing a suspected serious eye injury, which could end his BBL campaign.

Samuels has been charged with ‘‘unbecoming behaviour’’ and with making ‘‘inappropriate and deliberate physical contact’’.

Warne was suspended for one match and fined A$4 500 after he was found guilty on three charges of misconduct.

Samuels sustained a suspected broken eye socket after top edging a Lasith Malinga bouncer into his helmet.

Warne wasn’t exactly pleased with the discipline he received:

For me as the Melbourne Stars [captain] I’m very conscious of  the image of the game. I’m disappointed in some of my actions last night. Also I’m pretty disappointed with the severity of the penalties too.

The Renegades went on to win the match in a very convincing manner – reaching the Stars’ score with seven balls and nine wickets to spare.

We hope that Shane doesn’t speak to Liz like that.
