Cricket Australia congratulated former Aussie skipper Bill Lawry, who was given the honour at a gala celebration in Melbourne on Thursday.

Warne also suggests changes to the ODI and T20 formats, saying too many changes in rules and restrictions will spoil the limited-overs game.

Australia spin legend Shane Warne on Tuesday found himself in the middle of a road rage incident when a cyclist hit the bonnet of his car at a traffic light here.

The Rajasthan Royals have finally taken what appears as a conciliatory tone in the pitch debacle issue that erupted after their loss against the Chennai Super Kings at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium on Monday.

Giving a new twist to the controversy over the Sawai Mansingh wicket here, Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Warne today termed the "instructions" to make a new strip for the side's remaining home games in the Indian Premier League as "ridiculous".

ODI was the brainchild of Sir Donald Bradman and it was only money and nothing else which encouraged its introduction into the international arena.

Shane Warne joined in the chorus along with former Oz skipper Bill Lawry in demanding the inclusion of wonderkid David Warner in the ODI squad.
