From Strewth in the Australian
While all the pundits dug deep to describe Shane Warne, South Australian Premier, Mike Rann took the poetic romantic route, dubbing Warne.
"Australian eucalypt forever burned, toppled and crashing in splinters, yet forever rising and blooming again".
Must have been written by a Spin Doctor.
Meanwhile, Victorian Premier Steve Bracks suggested a bronze statue, or perhaps the renaming of a stand in the MCG, to honour Warnie, the Peoples Cricketer. Except cynics noted the Warne stand would soon become, in popular parlance, the One-Night Stand.
Never has so much creative language been written in a short period of time about one man.
The only time I saw him live, he was walking down North Terrace in Adelaide with his mobile phone glued to his ear.
