Australia fast bowler Ryan Harris apologises for drunken tweet

Australia fast bowler Ryan Harris has apologised for writing an expletive-ridden message on Twitter.

The 34-year-old was celebrating into the early hours of the morning with his teammates after the Aussies regained The Ashes by beating England in the third Test in Perth.

Around 3.30am local time, Harris tweeted: "A tip for all those heading to Perth! Avoid the crown or casino! Shit hole can't get in if you have had a drink #shitplace #dickheads."

After last night's antics, Harris decided to apologise. The Herald Sun quotes him as saying: "Obviously I made a silly mistake this morning and I tweeted something I probably shouldn't have.

"It was a silly thing to do - they let me in in the end, so they did the right thing, but they have to do their job and they were doing it. As I've heard many times before, don't tweet when you've had a drink."

Australia are currently 3-0 up in the series with two Tests remaining.
