Shane Warne has hit back at "do gooders" who have complained about his boozy questions during his player interviews after last night's World Cup final.
The Nine Network commentator caught the ire of many cricket fans on social media for asking several Australia players what their drinking plans were after winning the World Cup.
"Are you feeling thirsty?," he asked wicketkeeper Brad Haddin.
Batsman Steve Smith was up next.
"Are you going to have a bit of a drink tonight too Smitty? Are you going to get thirsty as well? The boys are thirsty they seem," Warne asked.
Then it was on to Shane Watson and Josh Hazlewood.
"So what's the plan - besides lots of drink and that. How long is that going to last. Just one night, two nights? We saw (coach) Darren Lehmann say it might last a week. Do you reckon it will go a bit longer than that?
"Go and enjoy yourselves guys. Hopefully we'll join you for a few."
He later posted a photo of himself celebrating with retiring Australian captain Michael Clarke.
The White Ferns have remarkably reached the final.
