HE missed his promised 5pm deadline, but Shane Warne has delivered on Part 1 of his manifesto detailing his views on the things he perceives to be wrong with Australian cricket.
The national selection panel is squarely in his firing line. Warne advocates a clean-out with Rod Marsh the only survivor of the current crop led by John Inverarity.
Warne's selectors would be Rod Marsh (Chairman), Mark Waugh, Damien Martyn and his old partner in wicket-taking crime, Glenn McGrath.
Warne has also named his preferred support staff. They are:
CEO of cricket or GM: Mark Taylor:
Who Warne describes as wonderful communicator who is very approachable and respected.
Coach: Stephen Fleming:
The Kiwi who Warne describes as the best opposition Captain he played against and a calm, intelligent leader
Assistant Coach: Darren "Boof" Lehmann:
Warne says he understands the game as "good" as anyone and is a good balance of old school and new school
Batting Coaches: Mike Hussey / Michael Bevan:
Warne describes them as respected players who grasp all forms of the game.
Bowling Coaches: Merv Hughes / Bruce Reid:
Warne says they were very clever bowlers who have a great attitude and a passion for the game.
Consultant: Ian Chappell:
Warne would have Chappell on call as a sounding board for any player to talk to at anytime and be around the group when needed. He says "Chaps" was the biggest influence on his cricketing career, with an understanding of the game is second to none.
"All the above people are cricket people, not rugby, tennis or from any other sporting code," Warne writes.
"They all understand the game of cricket, they have lived and breathed the game for a long time and most importantly have the best interests of Australian cricket at heart, along with being super passionate and above all, they just love the game."
Six years after his retirement from Test cricket, Warne remains a divisive figure. But few people doubt his cricket brain or his understanding of what makes a champion team tick.
Warne in his heyday was famed not just for his skill with ball in hand, but for his intuition.
For him, cricket was always a game of feel. Science could only help so much, which is one reason why he rarely saw eye-to-eye with coach John Buchanan.
It's for these reasons that Warne has chosen people who are not sports scientists for his dream team running Australian cricket.
As he wrote just then: "Cricket is a simple game; sure it has room and a place for scientific research and current technology, which can help learn about an opponent, but not instead of using your cricket brain, together they can work hand in hand.
"It's time to go back to basics. Too many people are justifying their existence."
