The post here when Warne does something dickish/creepy thread

[the big bambino]

That's it for me and Warney. I've fallen out of love and I'm leaving him. To dump on a mate who had to make a call on a player's fitness and form in the higher obligation to his team shows him up as a ****. He's so dumb he didn't realise his bitching makes him look even worse in comparison.

Perhaps unwittingly Warne tries to emulate Keith Miller but always fails. A bowler who could bat a bit instead of an all rounder. A text pest instead of a ladies' man. A yobbo at the court instead of a charmer. A jungle celebrity instead of a serviceman. A mannequin of transplants and botox versus natural good looks. A confidant of bookmakers but not on the track. A **** house commentator ... well he has that in common.

At least when Miller had a spat with an iconic captain he retained his dignity. Warne in comparison shrinks without the help of diuretics. Which is another contrast with Miller. Miller took the piss while Warne had it taken from him.

The biggest surprise out of this for me is that people are surprised at all.

What was the big secret I already knew that you guys didn't? The fact that Warne hates Steve Waugh or the fact that Warne is a massive ****?

I've heard all these sledges said by a range of different people depending on who's telling the story.

Nah, at least the Warne Ranatunga ones are all on record and are true enough, I think.

 

[honestbharani]

The two of them don't seem to have engaged in a particularly high level of banter worthy of recounting here.

Read the thread title... totally worthy of recounting here.

Ranatunga retired a few years before Warne's ban. Must have happened off the field, which seems weird.

It's Warne. Why do you seem surprised that it is weird.

Not up on all the gossip but this confession surprises me as its completely unfair. Seems Warney can't get on with anyone either so I wonder how many mates he's burned bcos of his ego. Besides I can kind of accept he dislikes a person but now I find out the reason I'm just gob smacked so there's a difference there.

I suppose it was less of a secret that he's a massive ****. But I tended to forgive or ignore his transgressions. Not after this though.

you guys realise everything he's said on the show is likely 90% scripted right?

calling Steve Waugh a **** will kill in the ratings

We don't do scripted here and yet you manage to bring in the ratings all by yourself

The term 'selfish' gets thrown around far too easily in cricket, both by cricketers and direct stakeholders such as coach, manager, board officials, and the fans of course.

It doesn't matter. Warne still has to be a **** to agree to say it.

AWTA. Such a shame that the guy who was (for me) the most watchable cricketer of my time is and IMO probably the most talented bowler ever will continue to make people dislike him.

I'm with PEWS on this one as I don't really understand why some are expressing surprise

Mind you, Waugh is hardly well liked either and he seems to be getting a free pass on here

Tbh Steve is the kind of guy who you dread coming to your family BBQ once a year

I can see Mark Waugh's kids saying 'I-Is uncle Steve coming this year?' to a nod of derision from Junior. Steve probably shows up every year wearing his desiccated baggy green and sits in the corner of the yard drowning himself on the port he was meant to bring along to share.

We don't like Steve?

I never had this image of SW. Just thought he was a quiet thoughtful sort of guy, not really one to be a wanker or big note himself. Just seems like a genuine decent guy to me.

Warne's absolute vermin, the sort of stuff that you know people will get away with but just once would love to see someone end up behind bars for.

I will never give to commercial charity because of things like this. Not just the fiddles like the raffle but the fiddles where mates take most of the money and the actual charity gets a pittance.

He's hardly the only person in the Australian system to not like Steve Waugh.
