I know this is a bit late, but I think we should have Shane Warne in the spotlight once more.Anyway what was your faveriote Warne moment.Mine was being at Old Trafford watching him take his 600th test wicket.

Adam Gilchrist joining the team.

His rendition of "bowling, Shane" and "ooorrrrhhhh, yes, Shane" was so infinately better than Healy's.

:laugh::lol::laugh::lol::laugh::lol: Never heard that-'un!

What is pretty amazing, mind, is that Warne only once bowled to a stand-in wicketkeeper! All his career, the wicketkeepers were Healy and Gilchrist, and the two of them only missed a single Test between 'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the reasons for the bastion of stability in Australia of the last 18 years.

Was Warne playing in the Test when Phil Emery played?
Yes

I miss one, evidently.

But 1 Test in 18 years is still a pretty impressive run.

I was laughing at the fact you were telling us how amazing that fact was, then Jack casually mentioned the name Phil Emery, thus rendering your amazing fact redundant.

Uh, well, it's still pretty amazing to have 2 consecutive wicketkeepers miss 1 Test between them in 18 years.

It doesn't render it redundant, anyhoo - it means it doesn't exist. Something slightly different does instead.

Stop! Evening Sir, I'm the Punctuation Police. That sentence is missing 4 or 5 punctuation marks that would have made it much easier to read. You've shown flagrant disregard for commas, full-stops and question marks. I'll let you off with a caution this time. Have a good evening :)

My best warne moment was the last time he walked off the ground at SCG after aussies wrapped up the ashes 5-0. It was a lump in the throat moment for me as the feeling seeped in that now i am not gonna see this legend on a cricket field weaving his magic on his opponents and mesmerising them, not gonna hear gilly say "well bowled warna"ever again on a cricket.
