Melbourne, January 16: Shane Warne has come out with a different take on Sydney Test furore that sparked extreme reaction all over the cricketing world, saying the match generated the kind of passion that makes sports interesting.

"Sport is about passion and emotions, and occasionally you overstep the line," Warne said.

"Occasionally emotions spill over a little bit but that to me makes the sport interesting. It shows that people care about what they are doing," Warne said.

It shows that people care about their sport, Warne said.

The former Australian leg-spinner said fans want to see players showing their personalities on the field and sometimes things happen in the heat of the moment "but the sportsmanship of the game is always high on their agenda".

"Ricky and Anil are quality people and I am sure they will sort it out," Warne was qouted as saying in The Age.
