Shane Warne is making the news for all the right reasons these days. His captaincy has been much talked about in the ongoing IPL, he is one of the top bowlers and his mentoring of the Indian youngsters have all left him in a very good stead.
So when Shane Warne speaks about making a comeback in Test matches, one better take him seriously. Despite Stuart MacGills's return to form in the side game that Australia played against the Jamaicans. And one can visualise one very nervous team out there after havng heard this news; England!
Shane Warne's overall Test bowling average has been 25, but it improves to 23 against the Pommies. But that is only the stats talking. Apart from it, its the sheer presence of the great man that can psyche the best of their batsmen into playing shots totally unbecoming of their team discussions!
For now, Ponting has ruled out any such Warne foray into the Test side, but what Warne says has a point,
Yes, that is very much a possibility, after all, MacGill is no spring chicken any more. It would be very interesting to see how it pans out, because Warne's return could mean a lot of entertainment and wizardary! For now, lets keep hoping!

If Stuey MacGill fell over and broke his leg, and there were no other spinners around.....
Yes, that is very much a possibility, after all, MacGill is no spring chicken any more. It would be very interesting to see how it pans out, because Warne's return could mean a lot of entertainment and wizardary! For now, lets keep hoping!
