Sad news. When at uni,had a job checking tickets at the WACA. One day I was at the entrance to an area where disabled kids were. I saw Shane Warne come to that area and talk to a kid for 20 mins before play. No cameras. He was just doing something out of goodness of his heart

I dislike wearing a mask as much as the next person but if you think “living with the virus” means living as if we are pre-pandemic, you’re pretty daft really
