Warne insisted his conduct in the controversial clash with Sussex stands up to the closest scrutiny and wants to see the matter brought to a close.

The world's leading Test wicket-taker came in for severe criticism from Sussex skipper Chris Adams who accused the leg-spinner of being overly aggressive in his verbal sparring with batsman Matt Prior.

But on Friday Warne hit back at Adams.

"We conducted ourselves in a good manner and the umpires took their hat off to us for the way we clapped their players off when they made a good score," Warne told Sky Sports News.

"The game was a hard one, everyone enjoyed it, there was no reports, no nothing.

"It is disappointing the way Chris Adams conducted himself. I think it is a bit hypocritical the way he did it and I am sure he regrets it now.

"But it's closed, let's move on. It has got far too much airplay as it is."

Warne said his conscience is clear and has no plans to apologise for his actions.

"The reason you only hear about Australians sledging is we don't say what happens out on the field," he added. "We just have a beer afterwards.

"If people want to say what happens out in the middle and they don't like it, I can't control that. I'm not going to apologise for it either."
