Fiery ... Shane Warne and Marlon Samuels face off. Source: Wayne Ludbey / News Limited
Melbourne Stars' batsman Cameron White says he finds it remarkable that Marlon Samuels has escaped with a reprimand for hurling his bat at Shane Warne.
After a surprisingly light judgement for his role in the incident, Samuels lashed out at Warne and his behaviour as the the face of the KFC T20 Big Bash League, and now White has joined the war of words too.
The BBL handed down a verdict on Monday night on a charge of unbecoming behaviour levelled against Melbourne Renegades' batsman Samuels following the heated Melbourne derby on January 6.
An underarm throw from Warne hit Samuels, which prompted the West Indian import to hurl his bat in the direction of Warne.
Cricket Australia Commissioner John Price said in his findings from the code-of-behaviour hearing that Samuels had been officially reprimanded.

''The player's conduct resulted from extreme provocation,'' Price said.
White is baffled at how Samuels has avoided suspension.
''Being provoked, I don't think you can use that as an excuse,'' White told reporters on Tuesday.
''It's remarkable, isn't it? How many times have you seen someone throw their cricket bat on a cricket field and get (reprimanded) for being extremely provoked?
''I've never seen it before. That's what the judiciary came up with.
White added that it isn't surprising Samuels didn't get much sympathy from him or his Stars teammates after the West Indian was floored by a Lasith Malinga screamer.
''I don't think he's very well-liked, definitely not just from the Stars' point of view but probably in Australian cricket,'' White said.
''People think he carries on a bit.
''There's probably a few reasons (the Stars' players didn't check on his welfare). We were quite busy.''
