Great get.

I remember him hooking Dennis Lillee for 6 first over of the Perth test in 75-76

Did he hit a 6 in the first World Cup final & stand on his stumps whilst playing the shot?

He was a dead set thrashing machine!

Yep he sure did. Talk about an annoying dismissal.

How can you have Geoff Boycott and Shahid Afridi on the same list?

You know me well enough to know how contrary I like to be. Does it really suprise you?

He also had battles with his weight, authority, his wife, authority, WADA, authority, communication devices, bookmakers, authority and problems in his private life, together with a choice of playing football or cricket as a teenager which could have dreailed his cricvket career.

Yes, the communciation devices have made qute a huge impact on his life, he has probably perfected the art of SMS speak.

In saying all of that I have always been a Warne fan and have enjoyed watching his career.
