The pair earlier last year landed themselves in hot water after they mocked Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne in a live broadcast on Kayo Sports. 

Warne and Symonds were seemingly unaware their comments about the cricketer's colourful batting techniques were being streamed across Australian screens. 

Warne described Labuschagne's batting technique as 'annoying' while Symonds said he needed to be 'hogpiled'. 

'Do something now to his ADD (attention deficit disorder) f***ing pills,' Symonds appeared to state, referring to the eccentric Labuschagne.

'Yeah, f**k,' Warne responded.

'Jeez it's annoy

r />'No!!!' Just f***ing bat properly,' he continued, referring to Labuschagne's quirky approach to batting.

'We'll have to give him the hog pile,' Symonds said, as the pair laughed.

'Mate if you keep that sh*t up we're going to have to squash your guts out your ar*e.'

Their comments prompted Kayo Sports to issue an official apology with fans criticising the sportsmen for remaining tight-lipped. 

In their playing careers, Warne and Symonds were in the headlines for their off-field antics almost as much as their ability in their whites. 

Symonds recalled one of his favourite memories with his friend and teammate just days before Warne's state funeral was held at the MCG. 

He remembered his shock at finding $40,000 in cash tucked inside a Woolworths bag among Warne's cricket gear during the 2005 Boxing Day Test match.

'We were playing a Test match here, I think it was against South Africa in the Boxing Test,' Symonds told Fox Cricket. 

'The third day we were into and I remember walking in and his gear was just all over the floor.

'He used to have a lot of socks and a lot of boots, and in between all his big woollen cricket socks was this Woolworths bag full of rolled up $100 notes.' 

When he asked Warne what the story was with all the cash, his teammate's explanation hadn't surprised him.

'He goes, "Oh I had a little win at the casino last night Roy and you know what? Cash is king," he recalled. 'It was about 40-grand laying on the ground there.'

Symonds added that his friend was 'generous' and had always been willing to help the people he liked, saying he counted himself 'lucky' to be in that category.
