what a f**king stupid show this is

seriously, who watches this shit ?

I watched the first few episodes last year and came to the same conclusion.

Am surprised it made a 2nd season

Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends gets my vote, even his repeats

He's such a piece of shit. "How dare Steve Waugh as captain make a selection decision based on my poor form, I'm Shane f**king Warne!"

Waugh's morning bowel movements have more class than Warne

Had to laugh at the headline.


Shane Warne says Steve Waugh is the most selfish cricketer he ever played with


Seriously, Shane Warne is the only cricketer Shane Warne ever played with, on or off the field. Never got his hand off it!

Shane Warne "I have an idea, I'll go on a reality show and criticise Steve Waugh AGAIN!!! for something that happened 17 friggin years ago"

Well we won the test, Warne came back the next test and took 5 wickets and was never dropped since. End of story.

I wish this current team had the toughness of Steve Waugh so we could actually beat 3rd world countries like NZ

In 'fairness' Waugh bagged the shit out of blokes in his book as well, and he was selfish in regards to never hitting out and protecting his average at all costs.

Anyway Warne just drumming up rating for this shitty show so whatever.

"I lost a great friend but gained fortitude from the experience and learnt categorically that knowing what is right and acting on it are two different things," Waugh wrote.

"One day, I hope Shane comes to terms with the fact it wasn't about me not trusting his immense skill and innate love for the big occasion, but rather a common-sense decision based on facts and the key ingredients every leader must trust and rely on 'gut instinct'

Bradman got dropped FFS... Not surprised Warne thinks he's above that though.

The excerpt from Waugh's book says it all really. He tried to handle it with diplomacy and Warne bags him off on a junk reality TV show. They're poles apart in character.

Steve Waugh you legend!

Waugh will go down as the only captain that stood up to Warne. Could you imagine Ponting or furthermore, Clarke dropping Warne? Would NEVER happen.

I wonder why he insists on baiting Waugh like this, it's pathetic

If Warne is found guilty of any misconduct regarding his charity that he recently shut down, he should be made to do community service for Steve Waugh's Foundation:lol: That'd be interesting. Then he will see how a REAL charity operates, rather than a phony charity where nearly $100k in donations is spent on alcohol at functions

Waugh didn't lose a great friend

A leopard doesn't change its spots. The more Warne carries on like this, Waugh dodged a bullet and is lucky he has nothing to do with Warne anymore

The excerpt from Waugh's book says it all really. He tried to handle it with diplomacy and Warne bags him off on a junk reality TV show. They're poles apart in character.

Waugh's response to the incident in his book proves that there is no substitute for class. Class is something that is there for all to see; something that Warne has always lacked off the field (even going back before his international debut. Paul Barry wrote of some very unsavoury incidents Warne was involved in during his AIS Academy years and why the AIS staff weren't sad to see him go). Waugh handled both the Warne (1999 Windies tour) and Slater (2001 Ashes) droppings professionally, yet both of them had the audacity to bag him out on tv.

Waugh understood that if you want to be a successful leader, you can't be all matey matey with your team mates. He knew he had to 'keep that distance' so that his ability to make tough, important decisions wasn't compromised as a result of being too close to the playing cohort.

I wish this current team had the toughness of Steve Waugh so we could actually beat 3rd world countries like NZ

:lol:

I love how Sam Newman gave Warne the ultimate smackdown on the AFL Footy Show regarding your part in bold. Listen from 0:37 onwards, and especially at 0:55:lol:

"How dare Steve Waugh as captain make a selection decision based on my poor form, I'm Shane f**king Warne!"

Sadly, that has always been his attitude

This.

Despite the fact MacGill overall had a better head-to-head record than Warne in test matches they both played in together - in 16 tests played together during 1998-2006, Warne took 74 wickets @ 29.57, MacGill took 82 wickets @ 22.11, MacGill producing better figures in 11 of those 16 tests - Warne was of more value to the ACB at the time (re:marketing and ability to draw in sponsors). However, after Warne had that first shoulder operation, he bowled absolutely crap and the Windies ate him up for breakfast. And Warne believes that the deciding test of that WI series was going to be the opportunity for him to step up to the plate, when he had only taken 2 wickets @ 134 in the first 3 tests?:lol: Funky Miller comes in and takes 3 wickets, including scoring a VITAL 43 batting at no.10 in the 1st innings of that deciding test. Besides being dropped, the fact Australia won that test without Warne is what deep down eats him up about the whole situation to this day: that they could win without him.

Warne had a massive sook after that tour, threatened to retire after the 1999 World Cup if Australia didn't make it, and then slotted straight back into the tour of Sri Lanka at MacGill's expense.

In 'fairness' Waugh bagged the shit out of blokes in his book as well, and he was selfish in regards to never hitting out and protecting his average at all costs.

In the context of this Warne-Waugh incident, Warne obviously failed English in high school, as his definition of 'selfishness' is someone who had the balls to stand up and drop him from the side. It's funny that he doesn't hold the same animosity towards Allan Border when he was dropped after his first two tests against India.

"When I ranked Steve Waugh somewhere in the 20s for my list in The Times, it caused a bit of a stir in Australia, though Waugh himself was fine,'' Warne wrote in The Times.

"People tried to suggest there was a problem between us when in actual fact we are friends. They also accused me of jealousy because he succeeded Mark Taylor as captain and I was appointed vice-captain.

"He was a tough, uncompromising player whose captaincy was all about leading by example. We had incredible success under his leadership.''
