Just how good this guy is as a captain, coach, leader etc. I think whoever decided to ignore Shane Warne for the captaincy of Australia, did a great favor to other teams. I mean one just shudders to think how much better the Aussie team would have been under him. There are talks that Warne is very keen on openning a spin Academy in India, I think why just a 'Spun Academy', he should open a 'Cricketing School' in India where he can teach cricket. I feel he wont have trouble finding sponsors for this venture.
The guy is 38, he leads a bunch of no names (and Graeme Smith) half his age, most of whom can't even speak the English language properly. Warne, didn't have to prove anything to anyone, just like other icons, he could have just taken the money and gone after few weeks. But not Warnie, that would have been very un-Warne-like thing to do. He has decided to earn his money, unlike those icons.
The Hindusan Times writes on Him :-
Captaining Jaipur in the IPL, Warne has taken everyone by storm. The players are imbued with purpose and credit their skipper's contagious energy for this. Youngsters just cannot get enough of him and the older pros regret not having rubbed shoulders with him earlier. As a captain, he is meticulous, understated, easygoing and inspirational.
He has bowled with guile, batted with purpose and captained with acuity. He mingles with everyone and is personally guiding each player.
On Wednesday, he said that he wanted to show the world what the youngsters in his team are capable of. That statement was forceful and encapsulated his desire and passion. His captaincy in the tournament, in a way, has transcended everything else.
