In the year 2009-10, the West Indies team toured Australia and on that tour a Test match was played at the WACA ground in Perth, in which West Indies spin bowler Suleiman Benn and two Australian players (Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson) got into a fight. Mukki had reached. Now almost 12 years later, remembering this incident, former Australia wicketkeeper-batsman Brad Haddin has made a disclosure.
Speaking on Triple M while doing commentary during the Australia-West Indies Test on Sunday, 4 December, Haddin said, "He wanted to sledge us but didn't want to hear from us in return which was not a good character. But then he Said something weird, we were about to leave for the T20 World Cup and he said 'you two won't make it out alive in Barbados, I will stab you'. Hearing this I said 'sorry' and that's when he calmed down and I really I don't know what happened after that."
Elaborating further, Haddin said, "He told me why are you standing with your partner, we've always been very close (me and Johnson) so I just went in and pointed the bat and said 'ok' Now this fight has started, you cannot say such things."
Let us tell you that during the fielding in that match, Sulaiman Ben collided with the batsman Mitchell Johnson standing on the non-striker and from here the controversy started. Only after this Ben threatened to stab him. Haddin and Johnson were fined 25 per cent of their match fees by match referee Chris Broad after being found guilty of a Level 1 Code of Conduct breach. Meanwhile, Benn was suspended for two ODIs.
