The Guardian published an interesting article this morning that shed a little more light on David Warner's reluctance to call for a review after he was given out lbw.

Quote:“I said ‘what does it feel like?’” Bailey told RSN Breakfast on Thursday. “And he said ‘high’. And I said ‘go for it’ and he turned around and walked off, so I don’t really know what more he wants from my end.”

Bailey lost his own wicket in the following over as Australia fell to a 159-run defeat and immediately questioned Warner in the dressing room why he had opted to walk.

“He said ‘I wasn’t that confident in what you had said’ and I said ‘well I’m not really sure what you’re after Davey, but I can’t be any more explicit than saying go for it.’”

At the time, it looked to me as though Bailey had indicated to Warner during their brief conversation that he was out. If Bailey did feel that Warner was not out, he certainly wasn't very persuasive. I am a little surprised that Bailey opted to add any fuel to the fire by commenting so publicly on the decision. Is there any past history between Bailey and Warner?

The same article was published here and as far as I know .... no history with those two.  The reason Bailey commented publicly on it was to clear the air as he was apparently being blamed for Warner walking and he was taken aback and annoyed about it. Warner also confirmed Bailey's version of events and was philosophical about the incident posting on Twitter "Haha a mistake by Me and the umpire. That's why we love the game. Things can go your way or against you"

Offered an apology from RSN hosts Michael Christian and Mick McGuane for initially blaming him for his role, Bailey seemed taken aback he had been on the receiving end of criticism for Warner's dismissal.

"That's a bloody good effort isn't it," Bailey said. "Because you've got your own dismissal to be worried about and you're the bloke getting the bloke at the other end out. Tough gig."

Bailey was also quick to challenge former Test opener Michael Slater and co-host Terry Kennedy on the Big Sky Breakfast program "after telling Dave Warner not to challenge that decision yesterday".

"Yeah, interesting little thing that," Bailey replied. "So where have you got that from, that I told him that?" as the hosts back-pedalled

Thanks for providing the backstory, Caly. One thing I think everyone can agree on, there was no way Shane Watson would have turned down the opportunity to review that decision
