Cricket: Warner to seek Warne’s help
'From growing up as a kid I’ve modelled myself, through his run-up and everything.'
MELBOURNE:
Australian opener David Warner plans to seek his long-time idol Shane Warne’s help to transform him into a fully fledged Test leg-spinner.
“From growing up as a kid I’ve modelled myself, through his run-up and everything,” Warner told Fox Sports. “I’ve tried to look at how he gets his wickets, how he goes about shuffling the batsman across the crease and that’s how a bowler would think. But for me to get the opportunity to bowl and just turn into a normal leg-spinner is amazing.”
