According to the report, after asking for a review, Warner suggested that the ball-tracking on the field did not match what he saw on the replay screen.

“When I was there I asked Joel (field umpire) what happened, why did he give it out. He said the ball was swinging back, that’s to his credit, if he thinks so then that’s why he gave the decision.

The decision review system was introduced in 2008, before Warner’s international debut in 2009.

We’re waiting for ball-tracking

“Right now, it feels like we’re waiting for (ball-tracking) to happen,” Warner said.

“And as a player, you get more frustrated because you think: ‘Have they lined it up? What are the impact points, how many impact points do they have before it goes through.’

“In England, the ball bounces and once it bounces it actually spins, not just off the seam but in the air it can spin, so there are little things like that that as a player you get frustrated. Because there’s no explanation for it… but there has to be some accountability.”

ICC has not announced any punishment for Warner’s anger.

“I sprayed myself heavily out of frustration,” Warner said.
