Warne's blog

Australia legend Shane Warne had a day to remember at Lord's as he was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Watching his country's efforts on day two did not prove to be as enjoyable, however, as the tourists' batting order capitulated in the afternoon. At the end of the day he took some time out to share his thoughts, saying: "Australia have had a bit of a horror. They have had a shocking day with the bat, but they bowled pretty well and clawed (it) back later in the day. They will be clinging to the hope that they can do that (again) tomorrow."
