Only 6 Days Untill....

Indeed.

He is apparently training hard, working on his fitness, bowling at least 60 balls per session.

It is all speculation of course, small bits and pieces of his training schedule have been made public (or at least speculated on). He has consulted various people who know fitness, in addition to working with Terry Jenner as usual.

Seems like he is dead keen on making an impact when he returns. The break may well extend his career. When you consider that Clarrie Grimmett and Bill O'Reilly were considered "old" in modern contexts when they were still playing, Warne may well become like a well-seasoned wine.

He is in a Victoria Second XI side the day before his suspension ends - it means he will hope Victoria bat first so he doesn't miss out on bowling (he can't play until the 2nd day) - then if all goes well he will play in Victoria's next match (Vs SA? or Tassie from memory) - he may not be back playing internationally straight away - it depends how his fitness is.

In any case, MacGill is gooonneeee!!! as is Hogg - Warnie is back, the king will return.

The question is though, will he come out of retirement for ODI's?? Or will he only play Tests like he originally planned before all this happened?? I have heard some reports that they want him to play in the one dayers again...

I think he will play ODI's again. He has been out for so long, he will wanna play as much cricket as possible.

Go Warney! :clap:

He may be available in 6 days.

We won't see him until next summer in Australia.

Yay, we can get cricket off the back page and on the front page again where it doesn't belong. :roll:

Well the stories rife throughout the media are churning away - the latest installment is the news that Warne hired Junction Oval privately, so he could train on a field. He invited friends and St Kilda players to a private training session, but the St Kilda people were there in an "unofficial capacity" so as to not contravene the terms of Warne's suspension.

He is, by all accounts, landing them well and in pretty good fitness - sounds like the sort of news many cricket fans have hoped for.
