Australia wicketkeeper-batsman Brad Haddin has been slammed on social media for sledging a couple of New Zealand batsmen while sending them back to the pavilion following their dismissal during their World Cup win over Brendon McCullum's men on Sunday.

Sledger-in-chief Haddin was seen giving a few words to Martin Guptill after Glenn Maxwell dismissed the New Zealand opener for 15, News.com.au reported.

Another popular handle on Twitter, $ir $ri $ri Magal ‏@jhunjhunwala tweeted: “Its a good thing that Sec 66(A) was repealed because things are going to be said about Brad Haddin that won't be nice.”

Haddin was again caught engaging in a verbal exchange after Grant Elliot, the top scorer for New Zealand, was dismissed for 83.

Australia lifted their fifth World Cup title following their seven-wicket win over New Zealand in Melbourne.
