THIRD TEST
The WACA Ground, Perth
16â19 December 2010
Australia won by 267 runs
SHANE WARNE
Post-Warne Society
Shane Warne is not playing in the Ashes of 2010â11. This somehow needs stating, because it often seems otherwise. At Adelaide Oval, fully four years since his Test retirement, he was more visible than ever. Every other over, a burger superimposed on his face materialised on the River End sightscreen. Every boundary was toasted by Warnie on the replay screen brandishing something as much a part of a balanced diet as a deep-fried Mars bar. Every other commercial break, his talk show was plugged on Channel Nine: Warne with a smile so luminous it could be read by at night.
The man himself was there commentating, which he does so naturally well it is almost like playing alongside him, while his Twitter feed was being followed by a quarter of a million close friends and acquaintances. Footloose, fair-haired Aussie rebels can make a dangerous mix with new technology, even if Warnieleaks, as it were, has no pretensions to being other than a forum for mutually admiring glances with celebrity pals and a jumble of product placements, interspersed with gusts of electronic laughter ('Hahahahahaha' etc.). Yet whenever Warnie says something about the cricket, the scene in the media box resembles the scattering of cockroaches as a door opens, grumbling hacks scrambling to solicit comment.
