Australian great Shane Warne has admitted he and Adam Gilchrist have not always "seen eye-to-eye".
Former team-mates Warne and Gilchrist have been the centre of a major disagreement in the last week.
The outspoken Warne described the current Australian team as "arrogant", and this led Gilchrist hitting back and saying some ex-players had "lost respect for the baggy green".
Media reports have speculated that Warne was upset by the comments made by Gilchrist and Australia's greatest wicket-taker said: "On this one I think Gilly should be sent to the headmaster for six of the best."
But Warne dismissed claims that he disliked a man who he played alongside for over a decade and said their disagreements mainly came from their differences in personality.
"Gilly is one of those nice people and is everyone's friend and I suppose I am a bit of a rebel and speak my mind and don't sit on the fence, so we did not always see eye-to-eye," said Warne.
"To some people that means we hate each other, rubbish again.
"Lots of us in the team at some stage or another did not always see eye-to-eye or agree, but you should always communicate and talk it through, which happens most of the time."
Warne and Gilchrist will be seeing a lot more of each other in the coming years as Warne was recently appointed a spin-bowling coach by Cricket Australia.
