Haddin offers apology
Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has offered an unusual half-apology after his final World Cup sledging of New Zealand, suggesting that liquid celebrations may have fuelled his frank comments during a radio interview.
The arch sledger had been at the forefront of big "send-offs" for Kiwi batsmen after their dismissals in Sunday's final in Melbourne, before going on local radio and adding a few more remarks.
But Haddin has since tempered his words and suggested the celebrations after winning the tournament might have had something to do with his comments.
"We were celebrating a World Cup win and enjoying ourselves after a long tournament," he said.
“In hindsight, we should have stayed off the radio. If I offended anyone, it was never my intention."
