The post here when Warne does something dickish/creepy thread

[Spikey]

Warne has zero self-awareness and probably wouldn't give a toss what people thought even if he did

Having a go at Waugh is nothing new but what sums Warne up for me is that he agreed to go on the show in the first place

The guy doesn't need the money and is not your typical D-lister that is desperate for a vehicle to resurrect their career

I suspect that he just loved the idea of a camera being on him 24/7

his charity needs the money tho

I find it kind of amusing that Warney is all cut up about being dropped for one test match when he clearly wasn't bowling.

It's no big deal. Are you really going to write critiques over Warne using the word selfish and use that as an excuse to bag him? It was probably a quickly corrected alternative for "Steve Waugh was a c--t", which his hard nosed approach may well have been, at times. It was just a small sound bite about Warne's opinion of Waugh, and could even have been taken out of context because, you know, these reality shows do that all the time.

The thing I noticed is how Waugh never speaks publicly. He is a bit like Border was after retiring. All those years as captain and we have heard largely nothing about it since. Sadly, I can see that we are about to get the Clarke show on TV soon when I would really rather hear from Waugh, because Clarke will be PC hyperbole, whereas Waugh would be "tell it as it is".

This is interesting, Waugh paints a really nice picture of Warne in his autobiography, he seems to really like him. Not so much Michael Slater, lol.


I'd always assumed Warne respected Waugh, but I guess not. I would like to know the other reasons he dislikes him.

 

[indiaholic]

Probably because he treated him as a team mate rather than a prima donna.

Waugh (with Buchanan) was all about team first. Waugh bought into the ANZAC culture heavily and it influenced the team.


Warne had a gold Nike earring.

Warne still raging for being dropped when he was bowling ****

 

[weldone]

Warne is that kind of person. Still remember he once insulted Arjuna Ranatunga saying he's so fat that looks like he has just swallowed a whole pig.

 

[social]

Warne & Waugh are polar opposites so hardly a surprise that they don't get on

Anyway, there's no unwritten law saying that team-mates have to like each other

 

[hendrix]

So much respect for the way Waugh just doesn't even bother with this crap.

re: "I'm the captain, I make the selection".

100% correct, and great leadership. You don't get special favours just because you are on the selection panel. You play crap, you get dropped. And the Aus won the test.

Love Steve.

This was during his 1 year ban or just after. Ranatunga responded saying it was better than the stuff he had been taking. Ranatunga is one of those who won the verbals very easily against Warne.

 

[sidecast]

"great leadership"??? How do you arrive at that when he was part of a three man selection panel?

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

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

Still think one of the best chirps I've heard about was when Daryll Cullinan came out to bad, and Warne said: 'I've been waiting four years for this.' And Cullinan said: 'Well, it looks like you spent it eating.'

 

[hendrix]

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

 

[Senile Sentry]

The ******** being ********. Steve Waugh might not be the greatest Australian captain but to term him selfish is just plain ****ness from the ****face.

 

[Burgey]

I've really missed you, Senile Sentry.

 

[Burgey]

Jokes, obvs.

Yes, what a great response it was. Might've been a better comeback if he hadn't proceeded to be dismissed by Warne for a duck.
