"Doug Bollinger felt it would be funny to throw a salmon on one of our guys"- David Warner on how former Australia pacer got 'karma' for his prank

David Warner has been a prankster and has pulled off some hilarious pranks in the Australian cricket team. However, he claimed that he wasn't the only prankster in the team and recalled how left-arm pacer Doug Bollinger was once pranked in a flight.

The Australian team was returning from South Africa and had a 13-hour flight after an stopover in Dubai. Warner spoke about how Bollinger annoyed his teammates by throwing salmon at them. Later, some players in the team decided to avenge this by adding cheese under Bollinger's wig while the latter was asleep

On the shown 'Breakfast with Champions', here's what David Warner had to say about that hilarious prank on Doug Bollinger:

"I wasn't a part of this, but I was on the same flight. We were returning back from South Africa and has a few too many drinks. Doug Bollinger felt it would be funny to throw a salmon on one of our guys. Those days Bollinger had a rug (wig) and due to the heat, he would often remove it and redo it. He fell asleep in the fight and some guys decided to peel the rug back, put cheese, and then put it back on."

Doug Bollinger was being a bit of a nuisance: David Warner

David Warner further said that the players had forgotten that they had to tell Bollinger to remove the cheese from under his wig, but by the time they told it was too late as the cheese was melted.

Warner had great fun watching the prank and stated:

"It was a 13-hour flight from Dubai and we all forgot to be honest that there was cheese under Bollinger's rug. He took it off and it was melted (laughs). It was one of the best pranks I had seen live throughout a duration of a flight. It was a bit of karma back to Doug because he was being a nuisance."

David Warner has grown into a world-class opener across formats and is an absolute veteran with all his experience in the Australian team right now.
