Ex-Australia star reveals West Indies spinner threatened to stab him during heated clash

Former Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has revealed West Indies spinner Sulieman Benn threatened to stab him and Mitchell Johnson during a heated exchange in a 2009 Test match.

All three players were charged with bringing the game into disrepute, with Haddin and Johnson fined and Benn hit with a two-match ban. The incident occurred during the final Test of the series in Perth when Benn and Johnson accidentally ran into each other.

Haddin then got involved and angrily waved his bat at Benn, with the spinner approaching the two Australian batters later in the over and exchanging words. And Haddin has now revealed Benn threatened to stab him and Johnson.
