Shane Warne's fractious relationship with his former coach John Buchanan is no secret, and in the Daily Telegraph Warne calls Buchanan "a goose" who epitomises an arrogant Australian mindset.
I disagree with John Buchanan all the time. I don't think he has made one good point in a long time, actually. Everything that I have read that he says, he is living in pixieland. It just shows what us players had to put up with John Buchanan. We had to listen to his verbal diarrhoea all the time. He is just a goose and has no idea and lacks common sense, and you can put all that in there (the interview).
In the same paper Warne says Australia cannot write off Sachin Tendulkar and must use different tactics against him than under Buchanan. He also declares that 50-over cricket is finished and says the senior players in Australia's setup have a responsibility to know when to retire.
In a busy day for Australian legspinners, nobody in New South Wales Cricket can find Stuart MacGill, who had surgery on his wrist two weeks ago.
