Dean Jones: Warne should be offered Captaincy
In an attempt to pull Shane Warne out of his retirement, to rescue the reputation of the Australian team in Ashes, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dean-c53369 Jones, the cricketer-turned commentator has suggested the nation to offer him captaincy.
Earlier, the 41-year old Warne had been offered a million dollars to join the game again by the spectators from the business community. The offer to the legendary player had created frenzy in the media, which seriously started looking over the chances and
possibilities of him coming back to the sport after his team had lost the second Test match and was looking quite helpless with 0-1.
The spin wizard had preferred to keep his silence maintained over the issue; however, Jones was of the view that offered with the captaincy for next two years will definitely make Warne seriously consider his comeback to the sport.
While airing his views on a local radio station, Jones said, “Warnie, without doubt, no joke, could actually come back. He’s the Rolls-Royce. He can do anything he really wants in that regard. He just has to get himself fit. But I’ll say this, categorically,
because I want everyone to understand it, if Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 walked up to Shane Warne and said ‘would you come out of retirement and we’ll give you the captaincy for two years? I know for a fact he would take it. He would play.”
Brushing aside the questions over Shane’s form, Jones said that being unprepared for the big series amid three years of retirement was not at all for him; he has always been a magician with the ball.
If the right offer is made, reiterated Jones, Warne will not take much time before putting on his cricket costume and shoes to run for fitness. While complementing the talent of the Australian spinner who bagged a stunning 708 wickets in his test cricket
career, Jones said, “He makes out that it’s really difficult to bowl leg-spin and do all that type of stuff. But really, he just walks in off three feet and bowls the ball. So it’s not too hard. Let me tell you, he’s the Rolls-Royce. He can do anything he
really wants in that regard. He just has to get himself fit.”
