Warnie statue revealed as part of Cricket Australia ad campaign

---

The secret is out on that statue of Shane Warne that was being whisked around London a few weeks ago. The Sydney Morning Herald has revealed that the statue is actually part of a Cricket Australia ad campaign for the Ashes. Now why CA need to promote the Ashes to England is bewildering considering they just spent the last month desperately trying to prevent English fans from buying tickets (and not too successfully if all the Ashes tickets on ebay.co.uk is any indication).

Nevertheless, I love the idea of a giant statue of Warne floating around London. I can just picture the angry mob turning on the statue after we win back the urn (or angry English women turning on it when they finally wise up). Then when Warnie returns to England for their 2007 summer, I can see him kneeling before the half destroyed statue, crying out "Damn you! You blew it up! Damn you all to hell!"
