Wellington, Dec 30 - Australia's opening batsman David Warner firmly believes that his team knows where the fine line between banter and unsportsmanlike conduct on the cricket pitch is and would continue to walk that line.

Warner explained that there is a line one cannot cross for the often-used cliche regarding players' conduct in the combustible four-Test series against India.

The batsman said that when one talks about sledging and stuff it could be anything more than what they are talking about, physical contact or verbally swearing or something like that, Stuff.co.nz reported.

He added that it comes down to the umpires or the International Cricket Council (ICC) fining people.

Mitchell Johnson's dismissal late on day four of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground prompted another angry exchange with the Indians.

The Australian turned and gestured to them as he left the field and Indian star Virat Kohli was then seen talking to the umpires. Kohli also scolded Brad Haddin on Monday.

Moreover, Warner insisted both India and Australia remained on good terms, and doubted whether there would an end to the verbal spats. He added that both teams want to win, and they're prepared to do whatever they can to win.

Warner claimed that stepping over the line is probably not the right way to go about it, adding that letting ones bat and ball do the talking is the way to go best. (ANI)
