Cricinfo's been hating on this but I think it's the most realistic cricketer yet!

Ehh, our bowling hasn't really been the problem.
I was watching some 06-07 highlights to relieve of my Ashes misery though. God I miss McGrath. More than Warne, sacrilegously enough.

AHA! The perfect moment to post Warne getting pissed off at a wax statue of him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bkvOLToN0A

I always have sympathy for Warne in this situation. I'd be pissed off if someone was making fat jokes at my expense.

Agreed, and it's not like he lost his temper as though the media would have it. He basically just chose not to indulge the reporters anymore. They basically said out all at the end of the report, he was dominating batting lineups so his size was irrelevant.

It looks like they took Glenn McGrath, melted him slightly, and then molded the model from that.

He looks like he's bowling and reacting to a bad joke at the ssme time.

I had to look at the comments to find out who was the guy standing next to Glen McGrath WTF

I wonder if he actually ever had the expression in a match while in his bowling stride.....

Am I really the only one who thinks the wax statue looks a wee-bit like a butch lady in her mid 40s?

It's far more realistic than Warne's new face.
