Warner should know better. He is the vice captain and been around long enough to know that is not acceptable.
I just don't buy the excuse of provocation. Like SP says, teams use it a lot, but these are just words. And if you give it out, then it will come back. After all a team captained by a convicted ball tamperer is hardly going to abide by some make believe line in the sand as to what is acceptable when it comes to an insult. Warner must realise that if he is going to give it out, then he will get it back from the SA players. It will get personal, as it did with Gilly in the past.
He has two options, don't give it out and then fair enough complain about how they said bad things about your wife. Or do what Gilly did and use it to focus your batting, and make them pay by scoring runs.
Looking at the footage, i think CA should strip Warner of the VC.
