Shane Warne ensures he stays in the news by getting himself involved in cricket a good six years after his international retirement
The Australian admitted going over the top and expressed his disappointment for whatever happened on the field. However, it was disappointing to hear that he felt that his punishment was too harsh when he should have merely hung his head in shame and owned up to his ‘crime’.
Cricket Australia was quick to hand a stiff fine and a one-match ban, but that will not be enough to save cricket from the ugliness. Any player taking the physical route should be banned for a series of matches just like the BCCI did when Bhajji slapped Sreesanth in the inaugural edition of the IPL. The Aussie administrators could take a cue from their Indian counterparts instead of ridiculing the IPL unjustifiably at times.
