Jake Lloyd and Harry Cunningham have played 191

Lots of special memories of Shane Warne, but the one that’s sparked the most conversations for me today has been one away from cricket.
His appearance as Wayne the Shane Warne impersonator on Kath and Kim.
So many people who had no interest in cricket loved him for this cameo.
