Shane Warne's first season in English cricket has, so far, been a humbling experience. The Australian test spinner, recently voted one of the Five Cricketers of the Century in a Wisden Cricketers' Almanack poll, has had poor bowling figures and also currently leads the "Battle of the Bunnies" - a contest to find the worst first-class batsman in the country.

Warne has had four consecutive ducks for Hampshire - getting out to four of the 11 balls he has faced. His record is even worse than annual batting novices such as Phil Tufnell and Devon Malcolm.

Not nearly so easy as advising bookies.
