The Ashes: England Ban Joe Root From Celebrating at Walkabout Bar
Joe Root, who scored 38 not out to help England take a 2-1 lead in the ongoing Ashes series, was punched by David Warner in the Aussie-themed Walkabout Bar after England beat their arch-rivals at Edgbaston during the 2013 Champions Trophy.

Asked whether Root and Warner might meet up at the Walkabout again after a win that gave England a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, a smiling Cook said: "The one thing (about our celebrations) is Joe Root is banned from going to Walkabout."
England paceman Stuart Broad echoed the theme by posting on Twitter a picture of Root in the home dressing room at Edgbaston, complete with the caption: "Don't worry people, I'll keep him out the Walkabout tonight."
