If you faced Shane Warne what would you do?

[ash chaulk]

on my way to the crease i wud fart near his face and step on his toe. with all the distractions he wud bowl me a pie and i wud still be bowled

classic i can actually see that happenin

 

[chipmonk]

I would ask him to completly satisfy me!

 

[Smudge]

OK.....

[age_master]

Like most if not all of us, get out early.

indeed

 

[Matteh]

I don't think you'd wait until the slog to get out.

It's a joke, hence why i used the name Pickup and not Warne.

 

[crickhowell]

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.

We can dream.............*looks up to sky dreamily*................

 

[Bob Bamber]

I'd probably soil myself and get a 1 foot wide bat out....

No. If he bowled around the wicket I'd kick him away (I'm an expert at that). But on the logical premise that he'd stay over. I'd get forward and try and drive him down the ground and through mid wicket.

Optimistic I know.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

I reckon I could time a few sweep shots. The trouble is, he'd have more chance of getting me out by bowling at 70mph, even poorly.

 

[Hodgo7]

Send him a text message

 

[The Baconator]

I'd get the trusty reverse sweep out, hopefully he'd be laughing so much at how stupid I looked he couldn't bowl properly.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Three steps down the track, huge hoik and then probably get stumped.

 

[Fusion]

Go out with guns blazing. I like that.

a mark ramprakash then?

the best way to play Warne is to use your bat and play straight. I'm not a firm believer of the Duncan Fletcher policy of sweeping everything that you get from him because quite frankly its stupid.

 

[marc71178]

a mark ramprakash then?

I think I can safely say this is the first time Neil's been compared to Ramprakash!

 

[Eclipse]

swing and miss.

 

[adharcric]

play the only shot in my textbook against legspin: the lofted slog square cut ... and miss by a mile

 

[luffy]

B, C and E

 

[Jono]

Reverse sweep

 

[silentstriker]

Reverse sweep

You know what...that's what I'd do. Its not like I have the ability to block his deliveries anyway, so if I'm going to go out...might as well go out in style. And there is always a .01% chance that my blind reverse sweep will connect, and I'll have something to remember for the rest of my life.

 

[Macka]

I'd model my game around Craig MacMillan.

Oh, wait...
