“Whispers around the sport are Mick Jagger has been courted by series broadcaster Channel 9 to make a cameo appearance at at least one of the five Test matches between Australia and England,” reports the Daily Telegraph’s Sydney Confidential.
On a day for big name dropping, Shane Warne reveals his friendship with Coldplay’s Chris Martin during the Australian launch of his latest book. Alex Brown becomes the Sydney Morning Herald’s music reporter for a minute.
"We bumped into each other in a lift in England during the 2001 Ashes series and became very good friends," Warne said. "I went over to his house for dinner in London, we spoke all the time on the phone and hung out a few times. He's a really good guy."
In cricket news Warne speaks about England being a better team in the Daily Telegraph.
Andrew Ramsey, writing in The Australian, reports Kevin Pietersen was surprised by his first look at Mitchell Johnson and Ben Dorries takes a similar shock theme in The Courier-Mail in a story on Sajid Mahmood.
