Australian opener David Warner has re-opened England's Ashes wounds with a snappy put-down of the former spin bowler Graeme Swann.
Swann was a Channel 10 commentator during the Big Bash game between the Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat at the MCG when he copped a Twitter burst from Warner.
"Greatto see (Swann) commentating out here - thought after being 3-0 down he may have left tour early again," Warner wrote with a "waste of $$$$ from 10" hashtag.

In a notorious cricket moment, Swann retired in the middle of the 2013/14 Ashes series in Australia, with England trailing 0 - 3.
Swann cited a tired body, saying: "It's time for someone else to strap themselves in and enjoy the ride like I have done." Australia went on to sweep the series 5 - 0.
Warner's tweet drew support from fans and a response from English media personality/cricket nut Piers Morgan, which Warner re-tweeted. There was also plenty of criticism, with tweets praising Swann's commentary and bagging Warner.
His commentary was actually quite funny, unlike this tweet from Warner. No wonder people don't like you Warner. #floghttps://t.co/cBIJ6IrNUf
