HALF TIME
Just when you thought you couldn’t add to the madness – Shane Warne joined the 3AW commentary box at half time.
Warnie spoke about his future as a cricket commentator, and his connection to the royal wedding.
And, of course, he touched on the recent ball-tampering scandal in Australian cricket.
“It was embarrassing and un-Australian,” he said.
