He's not a disgraced former cricketer as you put it. That suggests he was expelled from the sport after which he never played again. It shows how little you know about the world of cricket. You must be a yank. Like many professional sportsmen Shane Warne was involved in some controversial on and off field incidents during his career, but each time he faced the charges (publicly) and it was dealt with accordingly. But his career outlasted that of most of his peers - he played professional cricket for an incredibly long period of time. Most people that started after he did retired before he did. And what's important to note is that in the last few years (possibly the last 8) of his career he avoided any controversy and smashed a number of cricket records that had stood for decades. I'm no fan-boy of Warne mind, and in fact my team was on the receiving end of many of his deliveries - but this article shows a lot of ignorance. Warne left the game on his own terms last year. He retired on the top as possibly the greatest spin bowler of all time. Not as your article suggests in "disgrace"...
