If you faced Shane Warne what would you do?

I`d get out bloody quickly, but before I did, there`s hope I`d block and drive a few. :)

Probably just close my eyes and swing. Pretty much the same method as usual.

Pad away anything outside leg stump.






























Pad out anything on the stumps.















Pad away anything outside off stump while randomly flailing my bat above my head (playing a shot).

I wud do wat Tendulkar did to him!

After that Shane addmitted he had nightmares about him!

I can't seem to find the video where tendulkar hit him all accross the ground.

Finally, an honest man.

Just a note to all the idiots in this thread: If it was possible to just block and see him off, then he wouldn't have 650 international wickets. Test quality batsman tend to be slightly better than you when it comes to blocking.

Take his autograph on my bat, and wait for him deliver the ball, as soon as he bowls, catch the ball and run away.

Speaking of Warne, just read on cricinfo his description of the "boot camp" that Buchanan ran. I would say it's a bit...extreme. I'm all for bonding and getting in shape, but through a military style camp???

I was shattered. But just as the night went silent, voices screamed: "Go, go, go!". What on earth was going on? A stun-bomb had gone off, and we were told the area wasn't safe. We had to move. Now. There were no torches or directions.
All we had been given for dinner was half a can of chunky soup, so our energy reserves were low after pulling vans and carrying litres of water. But we had to go. It was time to prove our mental resolve and move to a different location.

Welcome to the Australian cricket squad's boot camp in regional Queensland, a time where we had only been referred to as numbers, not names, and weren't allowed to communicate with the outside world.


Despite voicing his indifference to the idea beforehand, Warne said "there's no doubt it brought the group closer together."

am for the 1st couple of balls play with respect & if possibly i begin to read what he's bowling i'd begin to play a few shots i.e sweep, on drive. If not just try to survive.
