A long read but well worth it for the anecdotes from three Kiwi cricketers.

A bloody good read, but especially:
...
It turned out it wasn’t just verbal tuition – which was always positive and encouraging – for Sodhi, either. The master, one year shy of the half century, was able to give an in-the-flesh demonstration.“One distinct memory I have was a net session, we were in there and [England international] Jos Buttler was the batter,” Sodhi says.
“No-one could get him out, all these young fellas were trying really hard and couldn’t do it. And then Warnie, who’s 49 at the time, rolls his shoulder around, gets a little bit warmed up, and three balls in, bowled a ball that pitched like seven stumps outside leg, Buttler’s run down, it’s turned past him and nailed off-stump.
“It was like, ‘Oh my god. This guy, he’s taking the piss’.”

Shane Warne if in one of my gaps from NZ/ Aussie history due to being in the States. Never saw him bowl. From what I am reading a street smart person and probably I high IQ. Like most I think I would like to meet him. RIP.

Quite a skill - Warnie getting the MCG crowd to stop throwing things at the English outfielders: https://www.facebook.com/twentyeightyearoldmale/videos/489250412832240/
