I was playing tennis at the time. what I did see though was the Ozzie bowling yobs making frequent comments to the Proteas batsmen. They just kept on with their sledging all day. What a pathetic bunch of hooligans.
Per Graham Smith:
The Test provided a major talking point on Day 4 when De Villiers was run out by Warner and Lyon without scoring.
Warner then unleashed a tirade of abuse in the direction of Aiden Markram, who was involved in the run out, while Lyon dropped the ball in the direction of De Villiers who was sprawled on the turf in trying to make his ground.
"The Aussies were pretty fired up at that time pushing for a victory," Smith told Australia's cricket.com.au website in Durban, where Australia need just one wicket on day five for victory.
"But he (Lyon) is an experienced cricketer.
"I think he'll probably say it was unnecessary himself.
"We've got used to Davey over the years. I think the less interest you take in him the better.
"He can be a bit of a fool at times. It best just to let him be.
I say...
David Warner reminds me of the kid that was always bullied at school for being so fuckin ugly and small, but then became good at something later in life and now holds the rest of society accountable for his yesteryears1. What Lyon did was a disgrace
2. Warners chirping is a part of the game
3. lets give it straight back. I say recall Pat Symcox, Fanie de Villiers and Brett Schultz just to give the Assies something to cry about.

Chippo these foul mouthed Ozzie yobs must be dealt with by the umpires!
t was reported on Monday that personal insults were at the root of a row between De Kock and Australia's David Warner during the tea break of the fourth day of the first Test in Durban.
CCTV footage showed Warner apparently turning on De Kock as the players walked up a narrow staircase leading to the dressing rooms at the start of the interval at Kingsmead.
After Australia's 118-run win on Monday, the visitors' captain Steve Smith pointed towards De Kock as the instigator.
It is believed that De Kock made a derogatory remark about Warner’s wife.
"Those sorts of things are not on from both sides," Smith said at his post-match press conference.
"Getting personal on the field is not on. We were certainly very chirpy out in the field as well. As far as I'm aware, we didn't get personal towards Quinton.
"What he said got a little bit personal towards Davey and, as we saw, it certainly provoked an emotional response."
However, reports indicate that the Australians also got personal with De Kock.
Afrikaans website Netwerk24 said De Kock was labelled as a "bush pig" by the Australians, while The Guardian in England reported that it was Warner who called De Kock a “bush pig”.
Netwerk24 further reported that De Kock hit back after the Australians also made remarks about his mother and sister.
South African captain Faf du Plessis said the umpires needed to ensure proper behaviour on the field.
"From what I've heard there was a lot of personal stuff being said, to and from. Who started it, I don't know. If it was happening on the field it should have been nipped in the bud.
"The fact that it spilled over after the field shouldn’t have happened."
There is nothing David Warner has said that is remotely close to what you had to say about Nelson Mandela and the earthquake in Christchurch which brought death and destruction.......if my memory serves me right you said the Kiwis had brought it on themselves and the disgusting act you would perform on Mandela's face you justified by claiming provocation from another poster.
Kinda pisses on making you out to be a Christian Huh?
Probably wasted my time regurgitating your hypocrisy, if anything you're too thick skinned and you've lost all forms of self respect and common decency nevertheless I thought it warranted a mention.
