Stuart MacGill former Test cricketer allegedly screamed 'you're going down' at ... trends now

Former Australian cricket star Stuart MacGill allegedly screamed obscenities at his best friend's ex partner before he got into her face and intimidated her in a pub, a court has been told.

The 51-year-old appeared in Sydney Downing Centre Local Court on Monday to continue to fight the charges of intimidation and using offensive language in a public place.

Police allege the legendary spin bowler and his friend Stephen Kerlin, 54, verbally abused Samantha Lorraine Ford on Kent St in Sydney.

The two men are accused of approaching the woman, who is Mr Kerlin's former partner, on a corner near the Lord Nelson pub around 6pm on February 1.

More than a year after the alleged intimidation, Ms Ford appeared in court and claimed the two men screamed swear words at her as they approached her.

The court was told she had been returning to her home on Argyle St with a parcel in one hand and a poodle in the other when she heard 'loud shouting' from a nearby street.

'The first screams were loud so I looked up immediately and I recognised the two people,' Ms Ford said.

She identified her former partner Mr Kerlin and his best friend Mr MacGill, whom she'd met before, as her verbal assailants.

The pub owner said the pair were staring directly at her as Mr MacGill shouted that she was a 'c***y c**t' and an 'a**ehole' and told her she was 'going down'.
