Any series Warne plays in then every youngster will want to learn spin again and this could bring another great spinner.
Warne may consider Test return

Shane Warne was the only reason I even watched the IPL!
I would love to see him don the baggy green again, but I believe that if you say you've retired, that's how it should stay. He would lose integrity if he was to return.

But honestly, in the point of view of the public, we couldnt care less if we won or loss against India, no one is interested. But beating England is a must!

I think the public realises which teams are tough foes; India and South Africa generally get the toughest reception. Gilchrist's conquest of India was a huge deal at the time. However, England are the one side that it is always important to defeat, no matter what the score is.

First off let me say that I'm not sold on any of our young spinners yet, including Casson, who finished the season off alright but didn't really show enough for me to rate him as our second best spinner.
Secondly, as much as I love Warney and would love to see him weaving his magic once more, I agree that the need to move on is probably more important than the need for him to come back. He might be great, or he might not. Since it's next year that he's talking about, he will almost certainly have lost a lot of fitness, and lack of practice may mean he isn't quite the player he once was. I think we need to make do with what we have now, and not dwell on the past.

Casson won't be around for long though, I even doubt he'll be in the top NSW XI in 2 years time.

If all else fails and Warnie comes back then I guess its bad news for us Brits.
But to be honest, I don't think you need him to beat our lame bowling lineup let alone our batsmen. If you have other options you should use them.

If Warne comes back,McGill will surely retire.
And India might just be the only one who could possibly stand up to Australia.
I just want to say, that if Warne plays, Australia will definitely win the ashes. However, if I were Shane or Cricket Australia, I wouldn't want to play.
Australia have produced the best legspinner in history. However, they need to move on. In my opinion, if Warne plays for Australia at the age of 48 he will still excell.
But for now, they have to use Mcgill for a year or so before he retires. In that year, they can develop Casson while finding another young spinner in Australia (I don't know many) and develop him so that in the future so that for the next ten years Australia will be secured in the spin department.
If Warney comes back, it will mess up the reconstruction effort put in by the CA since the departure of some of their legends, and have been further hampered by Gilly's departure. Australia can't affort to look through the past for their answers - they need to try and create a bright future - who knows, Casson could develop into another Warne!
From a personal standpoint as well, I don't think that Australian could hope for a better end to test career than an Ashes series Whitewash at home - his record is untarnished, and if he comes back, everybad spell will be magnified, and even if he bowls well, which he will, his decision will always be known by the public as a mistake.

I think that means just playing in the ashes?

I'd love it. It shouldn't really happen, and would be a big downer for Australia's young spinners. But I guess it wouldn't be the same without Gilly shouting crap at Warne
