Is this real Warnie or Big Warnie?

Posted on December 1st, 2006 in Ashes, Australia, Big Warnie, Commercial, Cricket, England, Second Test.


I pointed this out earlier in the week, but Shane Warne wrote about it also: 

Warne fired back at England coach Duncan Fletcher, claiming Fletcher was trying to prop up fragile egos with his provocative comments that the tourists had played the master leg-spinner “very, very well and positively” during their 277-run pounding in Brisbane.

This brings back memories of the 5th ad in the Big Warnie campaign, that has an Englishmen (I am not sure I am allowed to say POM any more, more of that later) complaining about the big Warnie being left where it was. After the catch cry, “It’s Definitely On!!!” They come back to the lead Aussie saying “Your just frighten of his Flipper”.

Seems that they are. Worst news is that Warne and his mentor Terry Jenner have been working on his drift. To me, this is the sign that Warnie is at his best when he has the ball drifting into the batsman and then spinning away. When that happens, he is unplayable.

GO AUSSIES

      Warney always seems to be the centre of controversy, it’s what he does best, and many people love him for it, others hate him of it. There’s actually a call for WARNEY to be PM! I know it’s not serious, but now they’ve even started to make “WARNEY FOR PM” T-Shirts on www.warney.com.au Keep doing what you’re doing Warney, and
      Go The Aussies!!!
