Time for me to practise what I preach

How many times have I warned people not to take the class players lightly. Even if he was focusing on a career in poker, even if he has not been training for a long time now, even if he is there only for the money, he is still Shane Warne and he is one of the best. In the first game, I thought he was actually jogging in to bowl and was just trying to bowl top-spinners but yesterday almost all the tricks were on display. Yes, it gives me great pleasure to see a team having ill-behaved players like Sreesanth and Yuvraj (Singh not Gandhi) being shown their place. Why doesn't anyone learn from the world's no. 1 bowler who also happens to be the fastest and most competitive bowler in the world - Brett Lee? How many times have we see him sweat at any batsman and ask any batsman if he would be 'terrified' of Sreesanth more than Lee?
Now we will have the strange combination of Smith and Warne playing together. And I don't think Warne cares much about the ICC Code of conduct pledge that all the IPL captains are supposed to have taken. He will do what it takes to get his wickets - he also needs to learn from Lee.
