Ausise Test debutant James Faulkner rapt after receiving baggy green from Shane Warne Shane Warne presents James Faulkner with his baggy green cap before his Test debut against England at The Oval. A DAY after Shane Warne described the baggy green cap as "silly" debutant James Faulkner spoke of how much it meant to receive the iconic emblem from Australia's greatest wicket-taker. Faulkner was clearly in awe of his former Melbourne Stars Big Bash team mate. "It was obviously an exciting moment," Faulkner said of the presentation on the field before the opening day of the last Test at The Oval. It was an honour to receive it off the legend himself, Shane Warne. It's a moment I'll never forget and treasurer forever. Warne spoke about the aggressive way that Faulkner plays his cricket. He told me to keep playing the same way I have so far in the T20 games I've played with him and all the other (one-day and Twenty20) games I've played so far for Australia. It gave me some confidence to go out there and express myself. He's been a huge supporter and fan of the way I play my cricket. I'm grateful for that and the opportunities he gave me last year when he was captain of the Melbourne Stars was fantastic. I'm a good mate of his and I respect him a lot. Warne made it clear on day three of the Test that he was not such a great fan of the baggy green or Steve Waugh's emphasis on it. It was just silly," Warne said with feeling as a commentator on Fox Sports coverage. . I said to him 'I don't have to wear my green baggy cap to say I enjoyed playing cricket for Australia, I want to wear my white floppy, I feel more comfortable in it.' He said `no, we're all doing it.' I said 'rightio'.
