Australian Personality #4 – Shane Warne

In December, there were some important cricket matches happening, especially a tournament called the Ashes between Australia and England, which Australia won by far.

But these post in more about Shane Warne, one of the Australian cricket legends, who is retiring now. What makes him interesting (or many other cricket players) is that he is not the stereotype of an athlete. Cricket players are commonly fatter, drink a lot of beer, have many women and party a lot. Even not admiring most of these things, I find it interesting that people feel closer to cricket players than to other extremely disciplined and dedicated athletes.
