    Hence the reason why he was kept on.
    They showed a bit of it during the cricket while Warne was commentating.

    Since he lives there isn't that somewhat pointless?

      Not if he is selected to play for NSW in the domestic comp.
      More of an In Bruges guy?

        Yep and the Pakis play spin as well as anybody in the world. We would definitley get more quality playing Watson, three quicks (Johnson, Bollinger, Hilfenhaus) and Hauri

          I'm not sure if this is possible but how good would it be for the likes of Holland and Smith to work with Warne for a few weeks?

            It would be great. Forget about just spin bowling, I think he has just about the greatest cricket mind going around. He would be a great mentor with the psychological aspect of the game as well as the technical part.
