Shane Warne, in Adelaide as part of his role as captain of the 888 Poker League Team,  spoke to Stephen Rowe and David Wildy and was typically candid and honest with his answers on a huge range of topics.

Warne explained how Poker is growing as a spectacle worldwide with High Profile Players and High Stakes creating greater interest from the general public. His role as 888 Poker League captain has seen him travel to all corners of the earth playing the game he once used to pass the time with his Australian cricket team mates.

Warne covered a wide range of subjects including:

• His devastation at St Kilda's loss in the 2009 Grand Final to Geelong.
• That he was a mentor to Wayne Carey in the mid 90's advising him on dealing with media scrutiny
• He felt poor selection and on field tactics cost Australia the 2009 Ashes
• He thinks 50 over games should be scrapped and crickets should concentrate on Test and Twenty20
• He spoke about his relationship with Adam Gilchrist who he calls the best batsman/keeper ever to play the game
• How he sledged Ian Bell in an Adelaide test match

Warnes refreshing approach made for an entertaining interview. His life after cricket is sounding as successful and adventurous as his days playing in the baggy green. As always with Warne it's compulsory listening.
