Warne in final talks before deciding on one-day return

[edgarisapimp]

It sure did.

Warne says he is concentrating on the next Ashes series. The WC rumors certainly aren't doing him any good and he wants to dispel them immediately. If he takes another 40 wickets in the next Ashes, how can Australia lose?

another controversy......



why doesn't he stay away from them???

What he does in his private like is his own business. Hes hardly a role model these days to kids anyway. Interesting hearing him say he is willing to go to the Ashes in England. That would mean he could play to hes 40 which is the new rumour going around along with the txt thingy.

Where's the controversy? Single man enjoys sex with two women at once. It's hardly news.

By the way Abhas, please see the PM I sent you yesterday, and act on it.

It's hardly news!! I don't read the tabloids but this story is all over them. How can you say it's hardly in the news. If Inzamam or Tendulkar had done this (aargh, the thoughts!!) they'd have been sacked. Even if it had been Michael Vaughan, I'm sure the ECB chairman would've had a word with him.

What's newsworthy about someone having sex? It happens every day of the year. People being filmed having sex isn't exactly a rare occurence either.

It's not as if he was filmed having sex in the Lord's Pavillion whilst wearing his baggy green is it? That would have been newsworthy. This isn't, it's just a single man having fun. Nothing wrong with that.

Will he comeback to World Cup 2007?

He himself has reportedly desired that he is not that keen for the world cup 2007.

"No, no, no, no, no … unless Ricky asks me to


May 3, 2006

SOUTHAMPTON: Shane Warne has firmly rebuffed rumours of his impending return to Australia's limited-overs squad.

Warne, in England for the start of a county season with Hampshire, said he had no intention of coming out of self-imposed one-day international retirement.

The Hampshire captain was mystified as to why Australian coach John Buchanan thought he might be ready to change his mind in time for the World Cup next year in the West Indies.

"I must have said it 14,000 times. I have retired and I have no aspirations to return," Warne said on Monday after skippering Hampshire to victory in their C&G Trophy one-day match against Essex at The Rose Bowl.

"I have to be fair to the squad. There is a lot of cricket ahead in the next year with the ICC Trophy, the VB series and the World Cup and they have to prepare," the leg spinner added.

"I have been out of the limited overs team for three years and I have absolutely no desire to come back.

"I have taken 200 wickets in the last two years in Test matches, and that is no coincidence. I have been playing better than ever.

"John Buchanan must have misunderstood what I was saying and I know people have been saying that I have been talking to Ricky Ponting but in Bangladesh there was not much else to do but talk.

"If Ricky said to me at some stage, 'Look we really need you', then I would think about it, but I don't think it would ever come to that.

"The team has done really well without me and I will be barracking for them in the World Cup, but not playing for them," explained Warne, who missed Australia's victorious 2003 World Cup campaign in South Africa after failing a drugs test which later saw the 36-year-old Victorian banned from cricket for a year.

Warne, who has taken 293 wickets in 194 one-day internationals, subsequently went into voluntary retirement from one-dayers.

But he did appear in last year's tsunami charity match between Asia and the Rest of the World in front of his home crowd at the MCG, a fixture controversially awarded full limited-overs international status.

And earlier this year, Warne, 37 in September, hinted at a one-day return with Australia by saying: "It would be nice I suppose to play in the World Cup but it depends on what I want to do with my Test future." "
