Warne to figure in 2009 Ashes
By Will last year, at the end of February Add your comment below
He may no longer be terrifying Englishmen with his leggies, but Shane Warne will continue to wind up the old enemy by commentating on Sky for the summer. This is a good thing, and Warne has the charisma and confidence to become a really good commentator. I’ve listened to him on and off during the winter for his occasional stints on Australian TV and have liked his wit, cheek and general piss-taking of his colleagues (particularly Michael “Slats” Slater).
There is also the distinct probability of Warne making one or three howling howlers or un-PC comments, which can only be a good thing for the world in general.

If it wasn’t for all the scandals he’d already be one of the main men on Australia’s Channel 9 commentary team.
That last SMS scandal, whatever it was, cost him his contract around the time he retired (maybe just before).

Here it is – http://www.indianexpress.com/oldstory.php?storyid=74303 – July 2005 – earlier than I thought.
Will time heal this wound?

Also, there’ll be the unspoken bit about whether he might return to the team if they start to struggle.
‘Unspoken’ until all the Sky hot-air merchants start talking about it…
