Warne's rapid review looks after old-guard Questions ... Shane Warne. Shane Warne would be accused of handing jobs to the boys if he was in charge of the hiring and firing at Cricket Australia. Just on 18 months ago, Australian cricket underwent a revolution following Don Argus's root and branch review into the game in this country which took some six months to compile. Argus's 10,000-word-plus document was a "fact-based analysis of team and individual player performance" which consulted 84 current players and 160 former players. In contrast, Warne's 1185-word dossier was compiled in just over 24 hours though he did push publication of his review back by three hours in order to "get it right." Nearly all of Warne's appointments are ex-teammates, many of whom are close friends of the champion leg-spinner, who still holds considerable sway even though he is not an office bearer. Gone are key men John Inverarity and Pat Howard, part of an administration which he accused of having "muppets" at the helm. In their place are Rod Marsh, who is the new chairman of selectors, and Mark Taylor. It's just as well both have decades of cricket knowledge are strong personalities and have independent minds otherwise they would be in danger of becoming Warne's puppets to avoid the vitriol which has streamed from the Victorian's mouth this summer. Marsh is the only selector to survive Warne's purge though as a key lieutenant of Inverarity's the former wicketkeeper is a key man in CA's current panel and free to offer a dissenting voice - if he indeed disagrees with them. Taylor, ironically, was one of the authors of the Argus report which recommended the implementation of the current structure which Warne criticises as having "too many people justifying their existence." Part of the anti-CA sentiment Warne has tapped into can be found among the "old school" - those who believe cricket nous should take precedence over science and technology. Warne is no fan of CA's rotation policy, or "informed player management," saying stability leads to success, though he was in London during several Melbourne Stars games this summer in the Big Bash. Warne will meet with CA chief James Sutherland next week but it would come as a major surprise if they were to tear up the Argus report and replace it with this manifesto.
