Sarwan, McGrath bury hatchet
SYDNEY, May 14: Australian paceman Glenn McGrath and West Indies vice-captain Ramnaresh Sarwan have apologised to each other over their ugly confrontation in the fourth Test in Antigua.
Sarwan said on Wednesday he and McGrath had cleared the air over the mid-pitch altercation on Monday which had concerned the Australian Cricket Board enough to issue a statement.
Sarwan, whose century helped steer the West Indies to a record-breaking win in the ‘dead’ final match of the four-Test series on Tuesday, would not reveal what was said between the two players in the clash which caused McGrath to fly into such a finger-pointing rage that umpire David Shepherd had to step in.
But Sarwan was confident they remained on friendly terms.
“It’s good to know that we have apologised to each other and appreciate each other’s friendship.”—AFP
