On the pitch, though, [Shane] Warne is looking older than ever. He has turned in a series of performances for the Melbourne Stars in Australia's Big Bash League that have spanned the range from embarrassing to mediocre. He's been a wax-mannequin manqué, hapless with the ball, helpless in the field and with the bat. It began in his very first over for the Melbourne Stars, when, miked up so he could converse with Fox's commentary team, he announced that Aaron Finch "wasn't a good sweeper" and so floated up a delivery on leg-stump to try to lure him into playing the shot, only for Finch to step across and smear the ball for six into the stands at long-on. Chastened, Warne pushed the next ball up full outside off-stump: six more, over long-off. In his first match back, Warne bowled two fruitless overs for 41 runs in a match his team lost by eight wickets.
