Cricket, the World, Everything - according to Shane Warne

Shane Warne is a legend, we all know it. And we all know that in recent years he has liked to use his legend status to throw his opinion around about everything cricket. It can get a bit annoying at times but quite often, he is right.

Note that I wasn't complaining when he stuck up for My Lord.

And now that he has retired from cricket completely, he is bound to start throwing his weight opinion around even more. Yesterday, he played his last ever match and today I put his name into google news and about a zillion articles came up:

"India should use power responsibly: Shane Warne"

"Sachin was the most awkward opponent: Warne"

"Shah Rukh Kahn is the man in Bollywood: Warne" (Who? What?)

My least favourite: "A clear window for IPL will end sledging: Warne" Oh, please - don't encourage the IPL!

The funniest but most Warne-like: "Shane Warne says he deserves a knighthood for his services to cricket"

And the clear winner: "Just go already, Warney"

Warney, we love you (and you know it), but get on with it!

No worries. When you get time. I kind of let the last article build up, not my intention but atleast had something to write about. Droughts always get to me in the live cricket world.

I know, alot of people think alike on the Warnie matter. Respect to him as a Baggy Green representative and living legend, but the spotlight starts to get rather blinding.

I still haven't found the time to do more than skim - where's my Lord? I'm still hoping he's off to South Africa, but it's starting to look like he'll have to dance naked covered in chocolate before the selectors for that.
