They allow celebrity to bowl…’: David Warner recalls Tom Curran’s BBL controversy, defends him over pitch row.

David Warner was once again caught amid controversy, as a social media post on X by the former Australian opener was called out for misrepresenting the facts of a situation. Currently participating in the Big Bash League as an opener for the Sydney Thunder, Warner tried to raise a hue and cry about the Big Bash tradition of a celebrity bowling the first ball but was quickly shut down by fans online.

Posting on X, Warner brought up the incident of Tom Curran being provided a four-game ban last season, writing “I feel for Tom Curran last year now, getting done for four games because he ran up and down the wicket to mark his run up to play the bbl game he was participating in. But they allow a celebrity to bowl an actual delivery on the wicket pre-game.”
