Viewers who’ve followed Foxtel’s cricket coverage over summer will be familiar with the contributions of Shane Warne: his insightful analysis, genial good-bloke demeanour and fond references to beer, barbecues and burgers.
The pacey and engaging profile, directed by David Alrich, Jon Carey and Jackie Munro, offers interviews with a range of sportsmen – teammates, rivals and others – and family members: his parents and brother, his ex-wife and his children. It also courts marketability, with musicians Chris Martin and Ed Sheeran.
The more private interludes are juxtaposed with Warne’s extraordinary achievements on the field. One of the many soaring highlights is the 2006 Boxing Day Ashes Test at his home-city ground of the MCG, in front of a roaring crowd of 90,000, as he took his 700th Test wicket.As with many of the profiles of sporting champions we’re currently fortunate to have access to, what emerges clearly is the winning combination of extraordinary skill, commitment and fierce competitive spirit.
To be Honest if it wasn't for The Australian Media we think he'd be forgotten in no time at all.
Yeah Australian sports people definitely have the biggest mouths,
You could say he lived in the rough, and when any ball landed in it, it hit the wicket! Just like his bowling. Good on you, mate! A few regrets in life is as normal as can be. 👌🏽
Forgot the texting bit
Very deep indeed.
