Australia opening batter David Warner has taken a playful jab at England ahead of the Women's World Cup semi-final.
The Lionesses face Australia in Sydney in the last four on Wednesday morning.
The Australia cricket team were unhappy when the ball was changed mid-innings during England’s victory in the fifth Ashes Test last month.
It is something Warner clearly has not forgotten as he wished Australia good luck ahead of the semi-final clash.
He wrote on Twitter: “An early good luck to the The Matildas. Just keep an eye out in case the Poms ask to change the ball.”
Fellow batter Usman Khawaja also chipped in, tweeting: “They going to go with the 2010 ‘Jubulani’ ball.”
The winners of Wednesday’s showdown will face Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday.
