"You can fry an egg on his (South Africa captain Graeme Smith's) face within two minutes."
"I could be an all-rounder - if I could bowl…"
Shane Warne responding to the claim that he put on two stone in weight during one summer of league cricket in England: "It's simply not true: I put on close to 3 1/2 stone. I came over 81kg and was just off 100kg when I came back...I drank every night and ate absolute rubbish for six months"
"My diet is still pizzas, chips, toasted cheese sandwiches & milkshakes. I have the occasional six-week burst where I stick to fruit & cereal: it b****y kills me."

sense."

"Shane, with your, er, sorry Shane."
An unnamed reporter to Stuart MacGill who had just reached 200 Test
