‘Don’t drink and tweet’

Australia captain Michael Clarke pledged to celebrate first and worry about white-washing England later after winning back the Ashes on Tuesday, and his team did their skipper proud at a party at a Perth casino hosted by Shane Warne.

Already well lubricated following their triumph at the WACA, which sealed the series 3-0, Australia’s good vibes were not shared initially by the door staff at Crown Casino, who barred entry to the team.

Paceman Ryan Harris delivered an expletive-filled rant against the venue and its staff on Twitter.

“A tip for all those heading to Perth! Avoid the crown or casino!” Harris said in his tweet before deleting it.

A sheepish Harris apologized for the rant yesterday in Melbourne.

“Obviously I made a silly mistake this morning...,” he said. “As I’ve heard many times before, don’t tweet when you’ve had a drink.”
