Shane Warne recently stepped out of retirement to play for the Melbourne Stars, and hooked up to a microphone, his live commentary on his bowling revealed the genius of his cricketing brain.
Part of Shane Warne’s agreement to play for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League was underpinned by a deal with television rights holders, Fox Sports. Warne would wear a microphone throughout every match and commentate as he played.
And in the words of Cricinfo scribe, Alex Malcolm:
This was a competitive match, the most competitive and intense of the Big Bash so far. And what Warne delivered was truly spectacular.
Art lovers have pondered what it would be like to listen to Michelangelo talk as he painted the Sistine Chapel. What tennis would give to have Roger Federer talk them through a service game against Rafael Nadal? Cricket fans got their equivalent tonight as Warne describe how he was going to bowl, and why he was bowling to that plan, before executing it in real time, in a competitive environment.
