More like him spruiking himself in the Media limelight again - just to be seen with his new makeover.

Him and his ex-wife used to do it all the time for the magazines ...seperated, back together, seperated again, back together again, seperated, on and on and on.

Peter Garrett was a great Singer/songwriter, etc
but not as good as a Political figure.
Warnie was a great Cricket player but after that - he is just an embarressing knob like Warwick Capper.

I would be insulted if I was on the team - some bygone legend expecting to come back for the Ashes ...as if my fellow team-mates and I were not up to the challenge.

George Piggins EGO of yesteryear always the best years was what ruined the 'future' of South Sydney for some time.

F off Warnie you wanker!!!

If you're good enough you're good enough no matter what age.

Bob Simpson made a comeback at 41 having not played first class cricket for 10 years. Scored 100 in the first test & 176 in the 4th Test V India in 77/78. Averaged 53 for the series with 2 hundreds & 2 50s...

Yes but he stayed within the Cricketing circles, rather than cavort like a Wanker via the Media with whores, gambling, etc like Warwick Capper and Shane Warne have. I don't think he even had an earing for his luvo ego.
But maybe Warne should come back - it seems most of Australian Sport is filled with wanker guys these days.

Simpson came back because of WSC otherwise there is no way he would have played for Australia again.....If Shane Warne wants to put in the work required and meet the requirements for selection then he should be considered.....If Shane Warne wants to walk into the Australian side based on his reputation and celebrity then it will never happen!!!

Wade is not a Test Keeper. That stumping he missed today was elementary. His footwork sucks, his timing sucks, he fails to stay low (easier to rise than drop......notice how his gloves were above the ball when he missed that stumping) and he show pony's with exaggerated movement when he already has the ball in the gloves. He is okay.....but not a Test Keeper.

I agree, Wade needs to lift his game behind the stumps.
He's missing way too many chances, and I consider every missed chance that a better keeper would have taken to be requiring at least another 20 runs with the bat from him.

I disagree. The very first catch....where was his footwork? A simple cross step and a half, he has the ball and he is on his feet. What did he do? He did not move his feet, and was on his pads taking the catch. The catch running back? Well, that is not a 'keeper's catch. It was very well caught, but not a wicket-keeping effort.

Wade = 1 run.

Nah.
