Ben on ... drawing matches and losing respect

Shane Warne, captain of Hampshire who last year were deemed to be the least sportsmanlike team in the county league, has been involved in another sledging incident, during a game against Sussex, which despite all the aggro ended up a draw. It seems the Sussex captain Chris Adams was so appalled by Warne's attempts to humiliate his players that he has lost a lot of respect for Warne. In turn Warne was so annoyed by Adams' whinging that he has lost all respect for him.

As usual, there are no details on what was actually said on the field, so everyone involved ends up looking thin-skinned and petulant. If these players are so concerned about respect, perhaps someone whould release the onfield exhanges so we can tell just how worthy of respect these guys are.
