Shane Warne

“We played well in Kenya. We didn't lose a game and we bowled Pakistan out for 100 twice. We don't need to change much from that for this tournament.”

“The wickets I have played on for my whole career, most of them have been to suit fast bowlers in Australia.”

“I still eat pizzas, I still like pies, I still have spaghetti hoops for breakfast... but it's in moderation now.”

“I'm proud of what I've achieved in cricket, as once I didn't think I was good enough.”

“The reason why I have lost weight is that I looked at the international schedule and thought that I wanted to play for another two years. It is a very hectic schedule and if I want to get through that then I have to be in the best shape that I can.”

“We've just got to be careful - with all sports, let alone cricket - I think there's so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time, but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport.”

“The first thing is to be patient, which is probably the hardest thing to do. Don't worry if blokes are whacking you out of the park because you still have the opportunity to get him out next ball, even if it's not the same ball.”

“I've slept with a couple of people and made some poor choices and put things in jeopardy with... what I was happy with, and that's my own fault. I've got no one else to blame about that stuff.”

“I suppose my look, the way I play - you combine all that sort of stuff and that makes people interested in what I actually do. So then, when off-the-field stuff happens... I suppose it's one of those cocktail mixes.”

“With Australians we're saying we're going to win before we start playing and pretty much keep on saying that.”

“The IPL is just pure, intense. You don't need all the other stuff. I don't believe in coaches in international cricket.”

“I have been trying to lose weight for the last two-three months and it has gone really well. In the last 6-12 months I have been in the best form in quite a while.”

“I'm fitter than I've ever been, I'm actually very, very healthy and I'm happy.”

“People make mistakes and I've probably made a few more than others, but unfortunately mine are also a bit more public. That's the way it is. You've just got to get on with life. After all, it's not a rehearsal.”

“Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling.”

“I just play because I love playing and I try and take as many wickets as I can.”
