Cricket: Warne faces legal action from cyclist

MELBOURNE: Shane Warne faced legal action after a cyclist involved in a road rage incident with the Australian legend plans to sue for damages to his bike. Web designer Mathew Hollingsworth, 28, is launching a civil claim in the Melbourne Magistrates Court seeking $1,575 for repairs to his hi-tech bicycle plus damages, interest and costs. Hollingsworth alleged that Warne drove his sports car into him after a robust exchange of words in peak-hour traffic in Melbourne on January 17. Warne, meanwhile, had used a series of tweets on the evening of the incident to describe his version of events while lashing out at ‘antagonistic’ cyclists.
